Caring for Others, Caring for Ourselves : Finding

Authentic Presence offers training in contemplative-based care for people from all walks of life to discover their own inner resources for well-being and wholeness. We train healthcare professionals, volunteers and family caregivers in how to practice compassion and presence while caring for the seriously ill and dying.In our professional skills-training programs, we offer an integrated approach to the practical, emotional and spiritual dimension of care for living and dying. Caregivers learn step-by-step how to apply and integrate mindfulness, meditation and compassion training to strengthen their resilience and enhance their care.Family caregiving programs provide the means to address the multiple spiritual and emotional challenges of caring for a loved one, in a convenient self-study format.To date, more than 40,000 professionals and volunteers from around the world working in all fields of medicine, social care, and education have attended skills-training programs.This training draws its inspiration from Buddhist contemplative tradition and effective methodologies for deepening the human capacity for compassion, mindful awareness and authentic presence. It draws particularly from The Tibetan Book of Living and Dying as well as scientific research.Authentic Presence offers a variety of residential and online programs to meet the needs of busy professionals and family caregivers.
