This series will offer a basic overview to introduce participants to the practice of mindfulness meditation. During each virtual session, there will be an information session, opportunities to engage in guided exercises, breakout rooms to allow small groups to share, and a time for Q & A. These sessions are highly participatory, and it is recommended that cameras stay on to promote a strong sense of community.
