Session Four: Enhancing Gratefulness for Resilient Well-being Through the Mindful Viewing of Film

Egg Harbor, WI US
July 31, 2023 to August 4, 2023

Gratefulness can be defined as a general state of appreciation and thankfulness for the personal benefit individuals perceive that they have received from others. Recent studies and reviews have shown that gratitude can enhance psychological wellbeing, including life satisfaction, positive affect, and happiness. Clinician well-being is essential for safe, high-quality patient care. This seminar aims at a mindfulness experience through viewing 5 feature films from Japan, the United States, and Denmark in which inspiring characters embody gratefulness as a way to resilient well-being for the purpose of renewing these qualities in the lives of the seminar participants and in our work with patients. On each of the 5 mornings, 1 film is shown via Blu-ray video projection and 6 loudspeakers with an introduction and centering process to begin the session and processing after the film focusing on the participant's own experience of the movie including silent reflection, journaling, dyadic sharing, and group discussion. Supplementary optional films (non-CME) will be shown on 2 evenings (Monday and Thursday). Films take on an exquisite cumulative power when shown over 5 days at the DCSI in a group setting that is truly remarkable and unforgettable.

*Dr. Lu personally recommends, but does not require, that participants use a N95 mask during the seminar sessions.
