Event Description: Scientific evidence suggests that with a regular, long- term mindfulness practice, our brain can be rewired with new neutral pathways that make us calmer and less reactive. These neutral pathways are strengthened as we practice mindfulness. Just as our brains adjust when we learn to play a musical instrument or drive a car, our brain naturally adjusts when we learn to practice mindfulness. This practice can improve both our physical and emotional well-being.

Benefits of Mindfulness include:

• Higher self-awareness
• Less stress, anxiety and depression
• Improved physical health and/or less physical pain
• More self-acceptance of others
• Reduced reactivity and increased emotional intelligence & resilience
• More overall joy and peace

During these sessions, participants will learn techniques in Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction.
