Virtual Program Meeting - Mindfulness For Mensches

The Yiddish word, “Mensch”, means “whole person”, “real person”, or “righteous person". “Mindfulness for Mensches” integrates ideas and practices from Eastern Mindfulness and Western Gestalt Therapy to support becoming a more whole person.

This talk covers the Gestalt 7-stage model of Awareness/Need Satisfaction, the role these stages play in our ability to relate to ourselves and the world in fulfilling ways, and the kinds of awareness and behavioral practices that can strengthen our ability to navigate these stages.

The material for this talk is drawn from Dr. Rabinowitz’s 2022 book, Mindfulness For Mensches, available upon request from the author, and from Menschitude.com.
