WHO:
Camp is for anyone interested in learning more about mindfulness practice and how it applies in youth engagement, sports, education, non-violent communication, self-compassion, trauma recovery, or stress reduction. Camp is also for those who are looking for more in-depth experiences and who would enjoy coming together as a community. There will be particular opportunities for coaches, educators, and mental health practitioners who can receive âCEUsâ. Camp also provides opportunities for those looking for some quiet time to just be and siesta.
WHERE, WHEN, and WHAT:
Camp is at the Carol Joy Holling Retreat Center, Swanson Building, near Ashland, Nebraska. We have a variety of course options over four days divided into a LAB room for presentations/discussions, and a GYM room for guided and silent practices. Passes can be purchased for each day to drop into any of the classes, with mulit-day pass discounts. Lodging is also available and encouraged by discounted prices.
Here was our 2023 Camp Schedule (2024 Schedule is in planning)
Monday, June 26, will begin with a demonstration of youth engagement mixers and team builders led by Laron Henderson from Collective for Youth. The afternoon will kick off with a colorful and brief introduction to âWhat is All This About Mindfulnessâ. This will be followed by our headline speaker and leading author and sports psychologist, Dr. Larry Widman, who will share on the topic: âThe Intersection Between Mindset and Mental Health and Well Being in Peak Performers.â The presentation will be followed by a patio happy hour for more Q&A. The first fifteen Monday registrants will receive a free copy of Dr. Widmanâs book, Max Out Mindset. For those staying the evening, there will be a campfire, a play by our student interns, and a community âyoga nidraâ for sleep.
Tuesday, June 27,will begin with an opportunity for relaxation practice with a âsound bathâ of bells, followed by an exploration of the emotion and behavior science being offered to generate well-being in the schools, a discussion of âhot topicsâ (ADHD and Difficult Emotions), and an opportunity to learn about and experience trauma informed relaxation techniques. Educators will receive a collection of demonstration tools to help with classroom mindfulness practice. The evening will include a discussion of mindfulness and leadership, to be followed by live music and sâmores by the campfire.
Wednesday, June 28, will begin with a guided mindful movement to greet the morning, to be followed by options to learn how to prepare for difficult conversations, learn stress reduction practices, and enjoy some play therapy. There will also be opportunity for interactive card games where small groups practice listening and feeding back each othersâ deeper feelings and needs. The evening will involve a community âvisionâ meeting to brainstorm some collaborations and plans for next year, a sunset silent sit at the Mahoney Tower, and a campfire.
Thursday, June 29, will begin with another opportunity for sound bath, with the options of proceeding for a day of guided silence for the Mindful Based Stress Reduction practitioners, or a day of Self Compassion and Loving Kindness practice. Click here to learn more about the MBSR retreat
