In the whole of my teaching life, there has never been a more urgent need for programs such as these. There is a way to thrive and grow, not just survive during times of stress.
Each webinar series will be held weekly for 9 weeks. Program fee is $275 per person.
Mindfulness Series for Teachers & Educators
Saturdays, 11am- 12pm
August 29-October 31 (no session on September 5)
Participants will receive a Certificate of Completion to apply toward professional CEUs/PDUs.
Mindfulness Series for Adults Experiencing Stress & Anxiety
Sundays, 11am-12pm August 30-November 1 (no session on September 6)
These webinars will offer tools, practices, and techniques that enable participants to feel a greater sense of stability, strength, calm, and resilience. Participants will learn to connect to their own inner resources to promote clarity and effective coping skills.
Participants will practice and apply these skills and techniques for effectively navigating stress through “mindfulness” – the steady, intentional gathering of a non-judgmental awareness into the present moment in daily life. The community element is an essential part of our healing work together.
