Presented by Mike Bouck, MSW, LCSW, EAW Counselor
Mindfulness has become a buzzword in our modern vernacular. And as such, who doesn’t want to be more ‘mindful’ in some aspect of their lives? Yet, what does this mean? And how do we practice in a hectic, busy world to slow down and pay attention? Come learn the foundations of secular mindfulness meditation and some practical ways to integrate these practices in your daily life.

Led by Shawnee McDowell, EAW Counselor
Money is so much a part of our daily lives, yet many of us don’t feel comfortable talking about it. Although we might have crossed our fingers and wished that the abundant love we felt and still feel for our partner would lead to financial harmony without any discussion, it hasn’t! This workshop will focus on how to identify the meaning we place on money, and how to have the conversations we might dread having, but this can improve how we communicate with and understand ourselves and our partners.
