Session 1: Mindful Salon: Setting Intention
Presented by Michael S Krasner, MD
Patricia Lück, MBChB, MPhil PallMed, MScedHum
Frederick J. Marshall, MD

Salons have figured prominently in modern human history. The French salons of the 18^th century influenced thought and discourse and helped foment the liberation ideology and movements whose legacy we still enjoy. In this first session we will engage in a Mindful Salon where participants will discuss with each other who they are as professionals and as human beings, against a background of the increasingly complex world of modern medicine. We will explore learners’ intentions for this course, and begin to cultivate the deep listening and speaking skills of mindful dialogue as we examine individual and collective learning goals.

At the conclusion of this session, participants will be able to:
1  Explore the concept of intention with regard to awareness, attention, and mindful practice
2  Examine how self and group inquiry can clarify learning goals and enhance flourishing in medicine
