The mind is a powerful instrument, and like all powerful instruments, it can be used in helpful and harmful ways. Mindfulness is an effective tool for learning about and working with the mind, allowing us to harness our internal resources for strength, resilience, wellness, and creativity instead of falling victim to the toxic effects of stress. This program will explore the science and practice of mindfulness, the impact of stress on the mind and body, and practical tools and approaches for employing mindfulness in a fast-paced, high-stress world.
