Simple Change for Profound Impact

Format

Taught by one of our expert mindfulness facilitators, this program can be scheduled in three ways: as a single session that introduces the benefits of mindfulness and teaches individuals specific practices; as a four-part series that focuses on additional practices and strategies for incorporating those into a classroom or workplace; or as a customized plan to meet and complement the unique needs of your organization.

This program can be scheduled at any time. We recommend a minimum of 45 minutes be allotted for a session.

Benefits

Mindfulness shifts how we relate with our experience, encouraging us to bring a curious, nonjudgmental attitude to each moment and each situation. This openness encourages creative problem solving, resiliency, perspective taking, and promotes positive engagement. What’s more, mindfulness is a simple, practical, but powerful technique for recognizing and relieving stress and promoting work/life balance.

Research shows when individuals practice mindfulness regularly:

• Academic performance improves
• They are better able to focus attention and think creatively
• They display more self-awareness, prosocial behaviors (kindness, empathy), and altruism
• They report reduced stress, anxiety, and emotional reactivity
• They are able to recognize, relate with, and manage difficult emotions constructively
• They have fewer sick days
• Productivity increases

Incorporating mindfulness instruction into your curriculum or your workplace wellness program can lead to benefits to not only the individuals who participate but the entire organization as well.
