Still Like a Mountain, Flow like a River: Mindful Stillness & Mindful Movement in Clinical Practice
Wednesday, March 4th 2026 at 9:00 to 10:00 am PST
Free for WCMI Members!
Mindful stillness and mindful movement practices cultivate distinct yet complementary skills for enhancing psychological flexibility and clinical effectiveness. Stillness practices, such as breath-focused meditation or body scan, facilitate sustained attention, equanimity, and metacognitive awareness, allowing clients and clinicians alike to observe internal experiences with reduced reactivity and greater acceptance. In contrast, mindful movement practices, such as yoga, tai chi, qigong, or walking meditation, integrate attentional stability with embodied action, supporting
interoceptive awareness, self-regulation, and the application of mindfulness in a dynamic way. Together, these modalities foster stability, insight, and adaptability in action, offering clinicians tools for promoting resilience, compassion, and therapeutic presence in their work. In his 40 years of clinical practice and 35 years of serving as an instructor of Taijiquan (Tai Chi), Dr. Cammarata is committed to integrating the practice of mindfulness into the body, mind, breath, and heart.
Larry Cammarata, Ph.D. is a clinical psychologist specializing in mindfulness-based therapy and education, with expertise in the science and practice of mindful movement. He serves as Director of Education for Mindfulness Travels and is also the Director of Training for East Bay Mindfulness Center.
