Mindfulness for wellbeing and peak performance
Stress, inattention, multitasking and haste are becoming ubiquitous in the modern world and they come with significant costs in terms of wasted time, inefficiency, mistakes and miscommunication. The popularity of mindfulness can therefore be looked upon as an antidote to modern life. This interactive and experiential workshop will explore the science, philosophy and practice of mindfulness and some of its applications including managing stress, work-life balance, enhancing mental and physical health, communication and dealing with imposter syndrome.
Centre Members-only event. Contact the Centre Manager for more information or to register.
