"Mindfulness is a certain way of paying attention that is healing, that is restorative, reminding you of who you actually are so that you don't wind up getting entrained into being a human doing rather than a human being. The irony is that meditation isn't about giving anyone anything, it's about reminding them that they have everything they need already. People just sometimes need permission to befriend themselves. Mindfulness meditation is like living our life as if it really mattered. It is about caring enough about yourself to honor your senses and to use them to stay deeply in touch with the moment in which you find yourself.”

The Santa Fe Mindfulness Based Therapy is an organization that is committed to integrating mindfulness practices with psychotherapy. The first course that Santa Fe Mindfulness is offering is Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT).

Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) is designed to help people who suffer repeated bouts of depression and chronic unhappiness. It combines the ideas of cognitive therapy with meditative practices and attitudes based on the cultivation of mindfulness. The heart of this work lies in becoming acquainted with the modes of mind that often characterize mood disorders while simultaneously learning to develop a new relationship to them.
