DE-STRESS and MEDITATION PROGRAM: A MINDFUL APPROACH TO JUSTICE
A relaxed mind is a creative mind. This series of experiential seminars provides a respite for faculty and staff from the busyness of daily work life on campus. The series will provide faculty and staff the space to learn and experience a practice of mindful awareness which inspires creativity and the generation of work from a place of ease. While each seminar will include a discussion of application and research around technique, the main focus will be to provide participants an experience of mindfulness, calming and focus. The series will be held on Tuesdays: Oct. 13, 20, 27 and Nov. 3 from noon-1 in Pigott 208. It is open to all faculty, staff and administrators but registration is required as space is limited. To register, email the CSJS at csjs@seattleu.edu.
