Mindfulness Meditation ' Courses; Workshops; Retreats; Presentations, specifically designed for 'Specialist Areas' of Public, Private, and Corporate sector, available on request
For over 10 years Psychologist and Meditation Teacher John Barter has been providing Mindfulness based training programs in the form of Courses, Workshops, Retreats, as well as Presentations, for sectors that include Public and Private Health, Public and Private Education, as well as the Corporate sector.

These Courses, Workshops, Retreats, and Presentations, are both educational and experientially based, using Mindfulness training through Meditation as a key technique for encouraging personal awareness; enhancement of health and well-being; as well as increased development of professional performance.

Programs and Presentations while all being based around the development and use of Mindfulness, can however be designed specifically to meet the needs and concerns of the particular participant group.

Where half-day presentations and one-day workshops are offered, it has been found that a two day workshop, with a week in between each day provides the optimum opportunity for practicing and developing the newly acquired skills and perspective's.

• 'Mindfulness Meditations for Health & Performance'
  
• 'Mindfulness Meditation Training for Health Care Professional'
  
• 'Mindfulness Meditations for Enhancing and Engaging the Therapeutic Relationship'

WELL-AWARE-NESS Corporate Programs
'Supporting Management through the Meditation of Self-Management'

Amidst times of increasing global competition; insight, creativity, and actualising personal potential, are becoming the new frontiers of productivity, and profitability; thereby enhancing the competitive advantage.
An organisations capacity to develop a corporate culture that not only attract, but retains the best people, while supporting them in both their personal and professional development, is emerging as a key criteria for financial success.
WELL-AWARE-NESS has actively responded to this challenge by creating 'Qualities and Skills' based Corporate Training Programe's, to help organisations increase and engage human potential, while enhancing cultural capital.
WELL-AWARE-NESS recognises that an organisations corporate culture is reflective of the qualities and skills at the level of management, which are contingent upon the qualities and skills of 'personal self-management'.

WELL-AWARE-NESS, through the work of John Barter, a Consulting Psychologist and Mindfulness Meditation Trainer; supports organisations by offering programs in the form of experiential skills based Mindfulness Meditation workshops and courses, which can be tailored to address specific needs.

MEDITATION, the conscious systematic development of mindfulness, is a simple yet powerful tool, which is widely recognised and used for enhancing human awareness, and well-being. It need not be associated with religion or dogmas, standing on its own as a well proven and long practiced self management, and stress management tool. The techniques of meditation are easily learned, and the qualities that they develop, such as calm attention, insightful awareness, creativity, and integrity, are readily translated into skills that bring value, meaning, and motivation to both personal and professional life.

Two primary programs are:

• 'Mindfulness Meditation Training for Intra and Inter ' Personal Management'
  Essential for an 'emotionally aware management', where creativity and vision are emphasised rather than compromised, are the 'intra personal qualities' of key personnel and managers.
  This programme, through the development of meditation, uses mindfulness as a foundation for developing inner qualities, actualised as the many micro skills of inter personal relating. Here self management, through self awareness, understanding, and personal development, becomes the foundation for more fully understanding and managing others. Mindfulness further allows the possibility of developing attitudes that enable ongoing learning through our relating and relationships with others, creating an environment of aliveness, alertness and mutual respect.

• 'Mindfulness Meditation Training for Meaning and Motivation'
  Much of an organisations energy, aliveness, and ability to grow and flow with change, relates to the motivation of the individuals that constitute that organisation. What fuels the energy needed for feeling motivated, is that the work can be made meaningful. This program, by way of meditation, enables the possibility of finding and developing meaning within oneself. This then allows meaning to be given to both ones personal and professional life, motivating one to achieve goals without compromising vision and purpose.
