Mindfulness: What is It? How Can it Help My Family?
Mindfulness is the ability to be in the present moment (non-judgmentally) with full awareness so we practice being more connected to ourselves, each other, and our world. Mindfulness can be practiced in infinite, creative ways, by both adults and children. In addition,mindfulness is used to help people be more in control of their emotions, and manage anxious and sad feelings.
Please join Dr. Lindsay Brand from the Child Mind Institute for a presentation and conversation that will teach you the full definition of mindfulness, how it ispracticed and can benefit you and your family, and ways to make it enjoyable and fun.
Participants will be lead through examples of easy-to-follow mindfulness exercises, and have the opportunity to ask questions on the topic.
