Mindfulness and Wellbeing
About the session:
Dr. Dean Howes will lead a live 1-hour mindfulness session in FAB at 11.30 am. Through the practice of several mindfulness techniques focussed on calming your mind, body, and emotions, the aim is to open yourself to a more immersive experience with poetry and to make the most of the well-being benefits it can provide. No prior experience of mindfulness and no equipment is required. There will also be plenty of time for questions and discussions.
