RE:Source Series: “Revisit a Mindfulness Practice”

March 25, 2021 @ 6:00 pm - 7:00 pm

This workshop will offer further exploration and hands on practice of mindfulness strategies.

Mindfulness is an approach that has received much attention over the past decade to improve psychological well-being. Mindfulness simply defined is paying attention in a particular way: on purpose, in the present moment, without judgement. This workshop will discuss the role of mindfulness in managing stress. Attendees will participate in several mindfulness activities for a deeper appreciation of these skills.
