Mindfulness has become quite the buzzword these days. What place does mindfulness have in a work setting? Well, as it turns out . . . a lot. We now have the hard science that proves that developing mindfulness through the practice of meditation reduces stress, improves focus, and leads to better decision making.
Koru Mindfulness is 4-week series offered to faculty through the Faculty Series in which participants meet weekly for 60 - 75 minutes to learn and practice skills for mindfulness. The program was developed by two physicians at Duke University Health Center and has been used successfully there for 15 years to help individuals learn skills for managing stress and reducing anxiety.
