Workshops/Courses

SPRING 2026

Introduction to Mindfulness 

Dates TBD. 

WORKSHOPS 

Mindfulness Practices for Better Time Management

Monday, February 16th 5:30pm to 7pm in SBSB 3219

This will be a hands-on workshop on using mindfulness practices to manage our time, our intentions and our attention better. None of us have unlimited time. We need to start by accepting that we can’t do everything. We cannot change time but we can prioritize and set intentions and then align our attention to our intentions so we can make the most of the time we do have. We also need to accept that there will be setbacks and challenges along the way and managing our emotions when those happen can allow us to negotiate these challenges with grace and kindness. In other words, time does not have to be a source of stress if we learn to manage our intentions, manage our attention and manage our emotions.

Mindfulness Practices for Burnout Workshop

Tuesday, March 10th from 12pm to 12:45pm in ARTS 101

This will be an informative, inspirational, and interactive workshop on burnout, compassion fatigue, and building resiliency.  Participants will learn methods to build inner resources and tips for everyday stress management.

Mindful Preparation for Interviews and Presentations

Thursday, April 16th from 12pm to 12:45pm in SBSB 4221

Feeling stressed and anxious about an upcoming interview? Please join us for a 45-minute session on how to use evidence-based mindfulness practices designed specifically to prepare you for interviews and presentations.

Silent Saturday

Saturday, May 2nd from 9:30am to 12noon in SBSB courtyard.

This half-day retreat is an opportunity to pause, to reflect, to notice and to develop deep awareness. Our daily lives are so busy that we often forget to pay attention to our inner selves, to our environment and to each other. This retreat provides guided meditations, movement, art and other ways to connect deeply with ourselves and the world around us.
