Stress Management Through Mindful Awareness

There is a disconnect that occurs naturally when the mind is in a different location than the body. The mind is often in the past or in the future, yet the body is always in the present moment.

This workshop will explore how stress impacts us physically, emotionally, and relationally. One of the most important aspects of managing harmful stress is to first be fully aware of how it is impacting you. Mindfulness leads to self-awareness and can dramatically reduce the impact of stress, which can allow you to experience a healthier life. Join us for a better understanding of the healing powers for mindfulness.
