NU Year Preparing our Professional Selves with Mindfulness

Program Description: Start the new NU Academic year off with mindfulness preparation. We will learn how mindfulness can help us to maintain our focus, reduce stress, and overcome self-defeating thoughts and behaviors. This is a great workshop for those new to mindfulness or those who want to return to the basics of mindfulness practice. In addition to mindfulness skills, we will learn how to cultivate self-compassion. This workshop will begin right after our weekly Wednesday Mindfulness Meet-up.
