When we are swamped with work and daily responsibilities it is sometimes very difficult to find our way back to feeling grounded and happy with where we are in our lives. The focus of this workshop will be to explore what mindfulness is, why it is important and look at simple practical steps to apply the principles to everyday life.

Join us at EWP@UP for a four-hour morning workshop to empower you to find a bit of calm in the chaos of everyday life.
