Mindfulness meditation to calm stress
Writer and meditation teacher Jeremy Mohler will lead a guided meditation to cultivate mindfulness, the ability to pay attention in the present moment, non-judgmentally. Neuroscientific research has shown that meditation can lower stress and anxiety, among other benefits. Mindfulness strengthens our ability to connect deeply with others as we fight for a more progressive and just society. Meditation will be followed by a brief Q&A about the practice. No experience or equipment necessary. Beginner’s more than welcome.
Netroots Nation prioritizes the safety and health of our attendees. Though our event isn’t until mid-August, we are closely monitoring the development of COVID-19 and considering all possible options for hosting our conference this summer.
We will continue to track information from the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), the World Health Organization (WHO) and government agencies regarding public health guidelines and will make informed decisions about our event as the situation continues to develop.
