This program introduces the basic principles and practices of mindfulness, a concentrated state of awareness that helps people see and respond to situations with greater clarity. Individuals who employ the techniques of mindfulness in their work are able to monitor moment-to-moment effectiveness, respond promptly and appropriately to difficulties as they arise, and remain open to new ideas and perspectives. Participants will be introduced to meditation practices that will teach them how to be more focused, creative, and resilient in all aspects of their lives.
