Chairs Program
In today’s heavily networked and fast-paced world, mindfulness has emerged as a critical component in maintaining mental health and happiness. In the work environment, mindfulness is touted as a key to reducing burnout and prioritizing work-life balance. There is growing interest among educators to integrate thoughtful and conscientious techniques into their classrooms, which has proven beneficial to both the instructor and the student. Join public, academic, and school librarians who have integrated these methods into their instruction to learn how awareness techniques can improve and enhance teaching efforts.
Ven. Sagarananda will lead the audience through a 15-minute meditation at the beginning of the session.
