Life doesn't turn out the way most of us expect and accepting pain (either physical or emotional) as part of the journey is truly challenging. The only thing we have control over is how we respond to what's happening in the moment. The practice of mindfulness offers a structure of how to cultivate peace inside, even when the future is uncertain. Additionally, a positive mindset has been proven to reduce incidences of depression, anxiety, and stress, as well as improve health outcomes. Join Joni Sturgill, mindfulness facilitator, and integrative wellness counsellor, to build a framework for your mind to help you manage physical and emotional pain and to practice techniques to help you soothe your
emotions.

 In this session, you will:
recognize mindfulness as both a mindset and a daily technique
learn breathing to cultivate a focused state of calm
understand the nature of the primitive brain and nervous system
create daily habits to support resilience
