Join us for an experiential workshop introducing you to 5 easy and accessible techniques for incorporating mindfulness into your daily life. This mindfulness sampler is facilitated by two experienced Kalamazoo Therapy Group therapists who incorporate mindfulness and meditation into their personal and professional lives on a daily basis. Get ready for some breathing, laughter, and even laundry while we debunk some common myths about mindfulness and meditation and help support you in creating a sustainable mindfulness practice that fits with your own daily life.

• How to define mindfulness, meditation, and mindful living to reduce barriers to living more mindfully
• Benefits of mindfulness related to mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual health and well-being to help you stay motivated to continue practicing at home
• 5 accessible ways to practice mindfulness at home or at work

All attendees will receive a customized mindfulness workbook for this workshop and a pen. This interactive and educational workshop is capped at 10 participants in order to support group discussion. Seats are limited.
