Workshop Intro:

6:00pm – 8:00pm

Mindfulness is defined as “paying attention on purpose in the present moment nonjudgmentally”.  It is a practice of being alive for both the challenges and blessings of our lives. We are exposed to many stresses and demands that can affect our own health as well as those around us. In this workshop, Dr. Sherman will bring mindfulness and meditation skills into how we care for ourselves and for our family so that we can foster self regulation, compassion and resilience.
