Events At Home: An Evening of Mindfulness for Self-Care
September 17, 2020 | 5-6pm PDT
Thank you to everyone who attended the mindfulness workshop! We will present another workshop in the Events at Home series soon. Please watch your email inbox!
Mindfulness is the act of paying attention, noticing, and being fully present. Through mindfulness, we become aware of where we are and what we’re doing, allowing us to not be overly reactive or overwhelmed by what’s going on around us in our day to day environment. Mindfulness exercises provide us an opportunity to center ourselves to reduce stress and improve our overall well-being in both our professional and personal lives so we can become better leaders, parents, and partners.
This mindfulness course created exclusively for our SMCCC Foundation donors by Mai Vu and David Yuan of the MindKind Institute.
