Join the Healthy & Well at LBNL team for a 5-day mindfulness practice from May 19-23 in honor of Mental Health Awareness Month. This week will be appropriate for new and more experienced practitioners so join us if you are interested in exploring mindfulness for the first time or if you just want to get back into the habit. 

Studies have shown that practicing mindfulness, even for just a few weeks, can bring a variety of physical, psychological, and social benefits such as boosting your immune system, reducing stress, building resiliency, reducing bias and improving focus and compassion. Read the full list of benefits on UC Berkeley's Greater Good Science Center website.

We’ll start with a short kick-off meeting (Fri 5/16) and talk about what mindfulness is and the many ways you can practice. Then, for the week of May 19th, you can practice on your own and/or join the group everyday at lunchtime for a short guided practice.

The group will also have a dedicated Google Space where we’ll share daily resources and practice ideas.

Dates: Monday May 19 - Friday, May 23

Time: Practice on your own time and/or join the group at 12:10 pm PT each day for a short 10-15 minute practice

Sign up: May Mindfulness Practice Sign Up Form

Kick Off Gathering: Friday, May 16, 12:00 - 12:45 pm

Join your fellow practitioners for a short meeting about the practice and get a chance to meet everyone before we practice together.
