Event Overview

"The past is a memory,
the future a fantasy.
It is only in the present that we truly live."
-- Snowcake

Mindfulness is the core skill that centers around the ability to be fully present in the current moment, increases awareness of our bodies and emotions, and provides the tools for greater insight into the how our minds work. Developing mindfulness has been shown to increase empathy and compassion, curb stress, boost working memory, increase mental focus, and reduce someone’s emotional reactivity. In this class, participants get a basic introduction to Mindfulness Meditation and how it can be used to increase emotional intelligence.
