MORNING MINDFULNESS

Is your mind full or are you being mindful? During this interactive discussion we will take a look at the science behind mindfulness to understand the power we have over how we feel, and walk through exercises to harness your breath and five senses to create a sense of peace of calm any time, anywhere.  

Session expected to be 60 minutes long. This session will be hosted live on our conference platform. The replay will be available for those who cannot attend in real time. Come prepared with: an open mind, a comfy place to sit or lie down (a pillow, blanket or yoga mat might help you feel grounded but are totally optional). Your surroundings don’t have to be distraction-free (that’s unrealistic!), however please have yourself on mute if there is a lot going on in your background.
