Mindfulness practices I
The latest research suggests that 47 percent of the time, we have off-task thoughts during an ongoing task or activity. "Mind wandering" is both unintentional and without awareness. How we "show up" in our professional and personal spheres impacts our on-the-job productivity, our intimate relationships, and our ability to feel and appreciate experiences. Dr. Ryger's Mindfullness workshops explore the what, why, and how, and introduce techniques for increased presence so you can learn how to be there for your life.
Come to this supportive, non-judgmental experience and experience it yourself.
