Thank you for a wonderful podcast. I would like to share the practice of Mindful Handwashing: When the nurse or other healthcare practitioner washes their hands; they take a moment, to pause, breathe, notice and name thoughts and emotions, and connect with the soothing tactile sensations of hands touching hands.
I will be leading a Nurses Retreat at Garrison Institute in New York September 8-12. In this retreat, we will practice Mindful Handwashing and other in the moment techniques to integrate mindfulness and compassion into the healthcare workplace. I hope nurses interested in this material will attend and share what they are doing in their workplaces. It is another opportunity to participate in the healing of ourselves and our profession.

May I ask for speakers, if these are not prerecorded, to include advanced practitioners when they talk about Health care professionals?
There is a large portion of NPs and PAs that provide care and it would be lovely for us all to be included. Thank you.
Thank you Susan, I saw you in Arizona at the Mind and Life Institute conference that I attended. Thank you all your great work bringing the attention to contemplative sciences.
