About the Event
Stress is an inevitable part of modern life, but during these  unsettling times of COVID-19 and sheltering in place, family members and  leaders are facing more uncertainty and anxiety than usual. One of the  important tools we can use in these unsettling times is mindfulness  meditation. Practicing mindfulness can help us reduce stress, manage  anxiety and contribute positivity to our emotional well-being. As  leaders at work and at home, meditation can help you be the calm amidst  the chaos of corona. Â
Join Wynn Burkett for a presentation on how  meditation can support you at work and at home. We’ll talk about what  mindfulness is and why it’s important as well as how mindfulness can  help you stay calm, hopeful and focused. We’ll also provide an  opportunity to meditate, so you can experience it firsthand. Whether  you’re new to mindfulness meditation or are a seasoned practitioner,  this presentation will provide a place to pause, breathe, and tap into  your innate strength and equanimity.
