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.

“Deb is excellent, the students are engaged from the moment she walks through the door to begin her lesson. After the sessions are complete, the students have a complete tool belt of mindful skills to practice when different situations present themselves.”
