The Liberating Path of Mindful Eating - Daylong Retreat at Spirit Rock Meditation Center with Andrea Lieberstein, MPH, RDN
February 16, 2025 from 10:00 am - 3:00 pm PST Available in person (onsite) or remote online option
The practice of mindful eating can be one doorway into the practices and path of liberation as the Buddha taught. How can the practice of mindfulness and the brahmavihāras support more joy, compassion, lovingkindness, and equanimity in relation to eating and other aspects of our lives?
Together we will explore teachings of freedom from suffering and craving in relation to food and our own lives, and you will learn foundational mindful eating practices that you can begin to use daily to transform this relationship. This workshop will also introduce research-based tools and practices to help us attune to our inner wisdom that can support wise and beneficial choices with compassion and clear seeing.
This daylong retreat is being offered in person at Spirit Rock Meditation Center in Woodacre, CA and online by Zoom

Mindfulness Based Eating Awareness Training (MB-EAT) - 5 Day Professional Retreat at Kripalu Institute, Stockbridge, MA
May 11 - 16, 2025
Mindfulness-Based Eating Awareness Training (MB-EAT), developed by Jean Kristeller and supported by National Institutes of Health–funded research, addresses mindless and stress-related eating, disordered eating patterns, and obesity through the application of mindfulness practices. This program provides intensive training in the application of the MB-EAT intervention in clinical settings.
Informed by Jon Kabat-Zinn’s Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction work and the principles of food-intake regulation, the MB-EAT program employs mindfulness meditation, mindful eating exercises, didactic instruction, and self-reflection to cultivate awareness and a more balanced and positive relationship to eating and weight.
Those with a mindfulness meditation practice and related professional/clinical experience with eating issues are qualified to teach the MB-EAT program under supervision upon the completion of the program. Others receive an introduction to the practices of MB-EAT and gain valuable tools and information to integrate into their work, and preparation to be instructors.
Program details, tuition and registration available through Kripalu HERE
NOTE Tuition includes the Eating for Awareness Training audio recordings and the manual. Attendance at this program does not automatically qualify you to teach the MB-EAT program, but you will receive skills and tools to integrate into clinical practice.
