Mindfulness @Work
Bringing a culture of mindfulness to your work space can increase productivity, improve the emotional wellness of your staff / colleagues, and reduce their experiences of stress. Rebekka and Kirsten provide customizable workshops that are catered to fit the needs of your team. These interactive workshops involve mindful exercises, group discussions, and opportunities to develop concrete plans to implement mindful practices in their daily life.
These workshops are offered in both French & English, upon demand.
