Drop-in Session: Staying Balanced Amid Uncertainties

View at your leisure | Online via Zoom

As the COVID-19 pandemic continues with no clear resolution in sight, we call upon resources to weather these uncertainties and challenges. This session, sponsored by the Center for Child and Family Well-Being and presented by Elizabeth H. B. Lin (MD, MPH), will introduce the Mountain Meditation with compassion. With an open-minded and open-hearted approach, this practice can inspire us toward kindness for ourselves and others while staying balanced amidst uncertainties and chaos.
