in relation to our work and personal lives
• Identify opportunities to integrate basic
mindfulness practices and strategies into our

About the Course:
Mindfulness is the skill of paying attention to the present
moment as it unfolds without judgment, and is both a
practice and a way of living. These principles and practices
are being embraced by corporations, healthcare
organizations and teaching institutions as a means to bring
focus, calm, creativity and resilience to the workplace.
With a history spanning 2500 years, mindfulness can be
used in our modern world to deepen compassion for
ourselves and others, and to help manage stress in our
work and home lives.
There is mounting scientific evidence that these ancient
practices and concepts have positive impacts on our
brains, minds, bodies, behaviors and relationships.
Participants in this workshop will be introduced to the
history and science of mindfulness, and discover
opportunities for integration in education, healthcare and
daily life. Through experiential activities, participants will
learn the basics of mindfulness meditation and be invited
to develop or deepen their personal practice.
