SE A2Affinity Group (virtual)

We are excited to partner with Libby Robinson from the Ann Arbor Center for Mindfulness who will be sharing with us on the topic of Practicing Mindfulness for Health and Wellbeing. 

Mindfulness is compassionate awareness of this present moment. Cultivating it is associated with decreases in stress, depression, anxiety, pain, and chronic unhappiness. This presentation will focus on practicing several techniques for cultivating mindfulness with the opportunity to share experiences and ask questions. Libby's intention is to provide you with tools for coping with stress and other life difficulties. Online resources for supporting continued practice of mindfulness will be provided.
