Webinar Series for Caregivers

Introduction to Mindfulness and Meditation Practices

Wednesdays at 2:00 PM, Beginning on Sept. 16

This series will empower participants to learn a new self-help skill that is an ancient practice withstanding the test of time. Meditation or mindfulness practiced daily or weekly offers you a way to heal the mind, body and spirit by drawing self-back to the present. Avoiding worry about what is in the past or yet to come is a great way to alleviate and avoid the accumulation of stress on our bodies and mind. Join us for this wonderful life lesson!

Adapting to Change

Thursdays at 2:00 PM, Beginning on September 17

This series is designed to help us embrace our true nature which is that the only thing in life that is permanent is impermanence! Change is inevitable but triggers our stress reaction and that too is part of the human endeavor. Take time to refresh yourself in what you know to be true and practice staying grounded in the face of change and even learn how to embrace the changes you face in all conditions in life.
