Intensive Session: Mindfulness for Community Corrections: A Day of Relaxation for Your Busy Mind
SESSION INFO
Sunday, August 28, 2022
1:00 PM - 5:00 PM
Session Type: Intensive
The work in community corrections is demanding and stressful. Additionally, over the last couple of years we have had to deal with challenges of working and living through a pandemic, social upheaval, natural disasters, and news from war zones. It’s time for a little relaxation and self-care. In this interactive workshop, you will experience a selection of mind-body skills that will help to ease the body’s fight-or-flight and chronic stress responses and regain a sense of calm, relaxation, and even joy. We use the community resilience model developed by the Center for Mind-Body Medicine. Our goal is to provide you with some easy-to-use mindfulness tools to add to your toolbox, and our hope is that you will leave the workshop feeling relaxed, refreshed, and rejuvenated.
