Mindfulness of thoughts, feelings, and physical sensations can be useful for managing stress. Participants can participate in mindfulness practices that may help calm the mind and bring greater awareness into daily life. Whether you are a true beginner to meditation or are willing to have a beginner’s mind, all UCSB employees are welcome.
