Event Description
It’s easy to feel like our lives are passing us by. When
we’re continually busy, we often miss the most sacred and tender moments that
unfold before us, at home and even at work. It’s easy to push past your
emotions or to get stuck in a certain level of performance and speed. Being
busy isn’t always a problem, but being busy all the time and not knowing how to
take time out for yourself, your family, your friends, and colleagues can leave
you feeling depleted and overwhelmed, rather than living a life that you love.
This session will help you explore how to slow down at
home and at work, and how to engage with life more fully so that you can enjoy
your life, regardless of what challenges life offers up.
Join us
on April 18 as we explore the powerful potential of mindfulness to help us
cultivate meaning, purpose and joy in our own lives and in our Drexel
University community. Michael Carroll, author of
Awake at Work, The Mindful Leader, and other influential books on bringing
mindfulness to the workplace, will lead each session.
This event is part of a day-long series of events. You
are welcome to attend one or multiple sessions, as your schedule allows. All
events will be held in Behrakis Grand Hall, Creese Student Center, at 32nd
and Chestnut streets, and will be simultaneously webcast. Please visit this
website at the time of the event to view the live webcast: http://drexel.edu/hr/career/engaging-u/mindfulness/
Faculty and staff are asked to register through Career
Pathway to attend either in person or by webcast. Students do not need to RSVP
in order to attend.
This event will be followed by a book signing and meet
and greet with Michael Carroll from 1-1:30 p.m.
