Location: TSNE, Community Room (89 South Street, Boston, MA 02111)
Instructor: Gena Bean (Mindful Boston)

Do you feel overwhelmed with work? How do you handle stress?

Since life stressors are varied, and come from all directions, a multi-tiered plan is necessary to navigate the multi-layered nature of burnout. In this three hour workshop participants will discover on-the-spot strategies, mid-length strategies, and long-term strategies to address stress. Using an instructional workbook, each participant will explore techniques that are personally effective, and create an individualized action plan to take home. In addition to self-study, this workshop will include lecture, a short meditation and an “at your desk” style stretching/yoga routine.
