Description: This workshop is dedicated to those educators who are currently taking or plan to take the online course, Self-Care for Self-Preservation (The Educator Edition). This is a nurturing in-person supplement to the asynchronous independent study. We will start by welcoming everyone to Gibson Square (outside space across from the Lindquist Center) for about 15 minutes. Included in this time: a walking meditation, a writing time, and breath work exercises. We will move indoors to Lindquist for 75 minutes and participate in mindful movement, a progressive relaxation, and one more writing time followed by farewells. Note: Please wear comfy clothes for movement, bring a water bottle to stay hydrated, writing utensils to journal with and a yoga mat.

Learning Goals:

1. Participants will take well-being techniques taught in the online course and apply them to our in-person practice to strengthen healthy habits.

2. Build on the mindfulness exercises that we tried in the online course by participating in additional movement sequences, a guided relaxation, and thoughtful reflection.
