Using Satir, Buddhist Metta in Tsunami & Terrorism Situations
Presented by Tipawadee Emavardhana and Ladda Kitivipart

D3

Time:   August 5, Tuesday, 9 am - 12 pm

 

Presentation Description: 

To assist Tsunami victims and those living under terrorist conditions in Thailand’s South, we combined Buddhist loving kindness (Metta), spiritual practice and Satir approaches in 3-day workshops. Many stopped feeling suspicious of others. Peace, growth and life energy emerged from within-between-among the participants. They felt more able to do good. We will describe the workshops and the outcomes of accessing and grounding participants’ deeper selves and ability to use Metta in ongoing Muslim, Christian or Buddhist spiritual practice.

 

Objectives:

  • Describe the combination of Buddhist (Metta) and spiritual practice and Satir Approach at time of drama (Tsunami victims)

  • Identify some of the key elements when applying the Satir Model and spiritual Buddhist (Metta) in the training and intervention.

  • Compare the experience of Tsunami victims and other similar situations from participants' own experiences.
