Mindfulness is both a philosophy and a practice. It's
a way of being, an approach to healthy living that creates thriving
relationships with self and others. In this workshop we will explore
mindfulness as a practical, every day approach to life, whatever life
brings. Using the concept of mindfulness as "remembering to remember,"
we will discover easy and accessible tools to bring mindfulness to all
aspects of living to enhance integration of body, mind, and spirit.
