Mindfully Resolving Conflicts in the Workplace

12:00pm to 12:45pm

There’s no way to avoid every conflict in the workplace—personality clashes and differences of opinion are inevitable, even if we’re working towards a common goal. But how do we stop disagreements from spiraling into larger disputes—the kind that produce rifts, instability, and disrupt the ability to get work done? Mindfulness teaches us to grasp the thoughts, feelings, and impulses which influence every interaction—thereby offering an essential tool to build more effective channels of communication; identify the true source of problems; and engage in problem-solving without coming away...

Mindfully Caring for Elders

12:00pm to 12:45pm

Our parents, older relatives, and other elders in our lives provide a rich source of wisdom, comfort, companionship, and connectedness with our history. But there are also times when the challenges of caring for an individual entering the later stages of life can seem anything but joyous. And if we are simultaneously caring for our own children—especially in exceptional circumstances, when resources are limited, routines are disrupted, and uncertainty abounds—then the strain may become difficult to manage. Tara Healey teaches us mindfulness practice to respond to the challenges of caring...

Mindful Eating

9:00am to 9:45am

How often do we plan to eat healthfully but don’t? Snack to meet an emotional need? Completely miss the taste of a meal because distracting thoughts carried us away? These all-too common experiences happen when we feel distanced from our bodies, thoughts, and emotions. Mindfulness helps us close those gaps, and manage the unconscious, unhelpful habits that build up around food. We become more aware of when we are truly hungry, when we are not, and when we’ve eaten enough. We learn to appreciate all aspects of our relationship with food, especially its ability to nourish our connection...

Mindfulness and Emotional Intelligence

9:00am to 9:45am

Success at work and fulfillment in life may be enhanced when we naturally tap into our emotional intelligence: the ability to monitor one’s own feelings and those of others and to allow this knowledge to guide our speech and actions. Self-awareness, the ability to recognize and work with difficult emotions, and the cultivation of empathy for others are all skills critical for high performance in life’s various arenas. The good news is that we have the capacity to train the mind to engage in ways that are more patient, alert, and productive. This session will present a brief introduction...
