Description

Feelings of anxiety can interrupt daily life and can be difficult to bounce back from.  One practice that can help prevent anxiety and panic from taking over is mindfulness.  Mindfulness is a state of nonjudgmental awareness of what is happening in the present moment, including the awareness of one's own thoughts, feelings, and senses.  the ability to be mindful can reduce symptoms of depression, improve memory, enhance relationships, and improve your ability to manage emotions.  During this workshop you will learn the benefits of mindfulness practices and be guided through various exercises.
