This book is about using a unique mindfulness-based approach to supervision that is both framework and practice driven. The Mindfulness-Based Supervision (MBS) framework is based on a weaving metaphor of ‘the warp and the weft’. The warp is consistent and consists of four key threads: the mindful container; the mutual relational inquiry; the use of pauses and space; and the mindfulness-based theoretical and pedagogical background. The weft is the threads that are woven through the warp and have different colours and textures depending on what is being created. The MBS approach can be applied in a range of ways, within different contexts and settings, to supervisees with different developmental needs and using a variety of teaching approaches. The book also looks at how mindfulness-based practitioners can apply this approach in other areas of their work, including supervision in areas such as psychotherapy and education.

This original collection, translated by Jayde Will is an exploration of values, real and imagined incorporating the best of Park's work from the last three decades.
