The workshop has mindfulness as its focus: paying attention to phenomena of the present moment in an accepting, nonjudgmental way. This attitude has been found to be beneficial for stress and anxiety reduction, and enhancement of psychological well-being and quality of life. In the present workshop, we will elucidate the central mechanisms of mindfulness and practice with both bodily passive and bodily active practices, mainly from the Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction program. Deadline for enrolment: Two days before the course. Ivan Nyklíček obtained his Ph.D. in Psychology in 1997 at Tilburg University, Netherlands. Currently, he is Associate Professor at the Department of Medical and Clinical Psychology at Tilburg University and is mainly involved in research on correlates, effects, mechanisms, and moderators of mindfulness interventions.
