My University of Vermont friends and colleagues, David and Carla
\nOsgood, teach a unique course in Bali. Continuing Education credits are
\navailable for mental health professionals. This course has changed the life of
\nmy students who have had the fortune to take it. The course will take place of
\nUVM spring break, 4-13 March 2011. For students, 3 course credits are available
\n(HLTH 296). <\/span><\/p>\n

Here is what David has to say about the course:<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

For the past ten years we have been teaching
\ncourses and professional seminars in three traditional cultures:  Bali,
\nIndonesia: Belize, Central America and Samoa, South Pacific<\/span><\/p>\n

Our work in these countries has given us and
\nour students an extraordinary opportunity to learn and grow personally and
\nprofessionally through developing ongoing relationships with host country
\nfamilies by participating with them in their daily lives.<\/span><\/p>\n

We utilize several key frames as we enter these
\ncultures. Some of the frames include : Constructive Developmental theory,
\nTranspersonal Psychology (particularly the perspective of non-dualism and
\nmindfulness) , Balinese Hinduism,  Traditional Balinese Medicine and the
\ntheories of intercultural communication.<\/span><\/p>\n

We hope to build a small learning community
\nwith folks from a wide range of backgrounds, interests and ages. We think that
\nthis course may have particular interest to people interested in traditional
\nhealing and practicing mindfulness in their lives. An excellent article on Balinese
\ntraditional healing is below:<\/span><\/p>\n

The seminar will be limited to 12 participants.<\/span><\/p>\n

The link to this winters UVM Bali Course (HLTH
\n296)  is below along with a link with some pictures taken last winter.
\nTuition remission is available to those elegible<\/span><\/p>\n

If you are interested and have questions we
\nneed to speak with you. Please call us at (802) 899-3965 or e-mail<\/span><\/p>\n

Our best,<\/span><\/p>\n

Dr. Kozak's ability to translate ancient healing traditions into pragmatic applications suitable for modern lifestyles through the use of metaphors have made him a strong voice in healthcare and business. Beginning with a journey to India in the 80\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s where he took the Bodhisattva vows from His Holiness the Dalai Lama, Arnie Dr. Kozak began his lifelong practice in mindfulness meditation. Intent on finding a way to bring the practical healing attributes of mindfulness he began incorporating these techniques in his private practice. In 2002 Dr. Kozak created Exquisite Mind in Burlington, Vermont as a vehicle that could expand his wisdom to larger audiences beyond individual psychotherapy to professionals and corporations, health care providers, public groups and, most recently with Exquisite Mind Golf, amateur and professional golfers. His award-winning new book, Wild Chickens and Petty Tyrants: 108 Metaphors for Mindfulness (Wisdom Publications, 2009) is a thoughtful, funny, and inspiring translation of mindfulness practice through the inventive use of metaphor applicable to our daily lives. In addition to his work with Exquisite Mind, Arnie Kozak, Ph.D., Licensed Psychologist\u00e2\u20ac\u201dDoctorate has been a Lecturer in Psychology at the University of Vermont and is a Clinical Instructor in Psychiatry and Medicine, University of Vermont College of Medicine. He has studied and practiced clinical psychology, meditation, and yoga for more than 25 years. He has studied with several meditation masters, including S. N. Goenka, Larry Rosenberg, Gurumayi Chidvilasananda, and His Holiness the Dalai Lama. After receiving his bachelors degree with honors from Tufts University, he was awarded a Presidential Fellowship to get his Ph.D. in clinical psychology from the University at Buffalo. He completed his training as a Psychological Fellow at the Harvard Medical School. Prior to founding the Exquisite Mind in 2002, Arnie worked ten years in the private sector for the PKC Corporation consulting on mental health content for this revolutionary software company.","sameAs":["http:\/\/exquisitemind.com"],"url":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/mindfulnessmatters\/author\/akozak"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/mindfulnessmatters\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/172","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/mindfulnessmatters\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/mindfulnessmatters\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/mindfulnessmatters\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/268"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/mindfulnessmatters\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=172"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/mindfulnessmatters\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/172\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/mindfulnessmatters\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=172"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/mindfulnessmatters\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=172"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/mindfulnessmatters\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=172"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
