SHARING FROM THE OMF

With thanks to academics in the field, we are sharing research with the OMF community.  You can read more from a 2023 paper – Evaluation of a mindfulness and self-compassion-based psychotherapy incorporating horses for Veterans who have experienced trauma by clicking on the image below. The research and reporting in this article are independent of the OMF.

We’re having a throwback to one of our favourite mindfulness quotes this week. With thanks to Joseph Goldstein.

This week’s book reading is taken from Full Catastrophe Living by Jon Kabat-Zinn. Read by OMF’s Per Norrgren.
