A note from Dr. Pantaleno about attending his Workshop:  I am delighted to let you know that I will be gracing the halls of Albert Ellis Institute with its first Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction Workshop, on Friday April 16, 2010, 1:30 to 4:30, at 45 East 65th Street in Manhattan.  Registration is $40 for professionals, $10 for full-time students with student ID.  To register online: click here. When asked "How did you learn about this workshop?", please click on the dropdown menu box and select "From the workshop presenter." I would love to see your friendly faces in the audiences.  Please encourage your graduate students to attend as well.  They'll get a good overview of mindfulness-based cognitive therapy and get into active mindfulness practices.
