Mindfulness is a self-regulation technique of becoming fully present in the moment by focusing one's attention on one simple task, such as breathing or walking. Many research studies have shown numerous benefits of mindfulness practice that include stress reduction, increased resilience, and improvement of mood disorders. Mindfulness is utilized in many treatment methods, including Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), and has many benefits to offer clients and health providers alike.
This presentation will be given by mindfulness practitioners who are lay and monastic students of Thich Nhat Hanh, and is free and open to people of all backgrounds. Light snacks will be provided for mindful eating.
