Start your day with some quiet time to decompress, reconnect mind and body, and practice some self-care as we turn our focus inward for a short while. Mindfulness has been defined as a practice of "bringing one's attention to the internal and external experiences occurring in the present moment" (Baer, 2003). Clark Shah-Nelson will lead this guided mindful meditation session geared toward centering ourselves on higher levels of consciousness so that we can experience OLC Accelerate Virtual Conference in a healthy and present way together. Whether you are new to meditation or a seasoned practitioner, all levels are welcome to join us for this session. Baer, R.A. (2003).
