Description

Feeling drained yet determined? You’re not alone. Nonprofit professionals are passionate champions, but the constant demand to give can take its toll. This workshop offers a rejuvenating solution: Mindfulness.

In this session, we’ll explore what mindfulness truly is (and isn’t) and provide practical tools that can seamlessly integrate into your busy schedule. You’ll learn how cultivating mindfulness can significantly reduce stress and burnout, enhance focus and productivity, and boost compassion for yourself and others. Our goal is to help you transition from a place of depletion to one of abundance, combat compassion fatigue, and rediscover the joy of giving.

Key Takeaways:

• Develop an understanding of what mindfulness is (and is not).
• Increase knowledge of the impact of chronic stress on the brain and nervous system.
• Cultivate or strengthen your personal mindfulness and regulation practice.
• Build connections and engage in conversations around mental well-being in a safe and affirming environment.

This supportive space is perfect for nonprofit staff at all levels, volunteers, and anyone passionate about giving back but struggling with self-care. Join us to create a personalized mindfulness toolkit for enhanced well-being and a balanced approach to your impactful work.
