Meera will deliver a session on helping to manage stress through mindfulness.
When we're stressed, our instinct is usually to do more. But when we do this, we can end up feeding a vicious cycle that keeps our stress building. Slowing down is often the most helpful thing we can do but we resist it because it feels counterintuitive. Join us for a mindfulness workshop to learn how tuning into the present moment can help us build up resilience and manage stress.
