One of the keys to happiness and fulfillment is finding balance physically, mentally, and emotionally. Learn to be focused, calm and on track even when your life feels as though it is spinning out of control.

Mindfulness is the practice of being present with things as they are. It promotes not just individual wellness, but also healthy relationships and a more compassionate world. In this workshop participants learn about, and get a chance to practice, each of the four foundations of mindfulness: mindfulness of the body, mindfulness of the feelings, mindfulness of the mind, and mindfulness of the phenomena.
