Session description: Over the past two years, the importance of well-being has become more apparent than ever before, as the typical spectrum of human emotions and experiences has only been exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic. It has been a season of great change and uncertainty for our country and our world. In the context of an unprecedented pandemic with unscripted rules, gaining tools for autonomy, choice, and connection is more important than ever. This talk will provide a framework for individuals to gain access to the tools to feel more present, autonomous, and well. You will learn the science and mechanisms behind a micromoments mindset and utilize awareness practices under the PEACE framework to increase well-being individually and with each other. Through the PEACE framework—Pause, Explore, Accept, Choose, and Enter into the next moment—you will get started on the path to developing tools for mindful mental and physiological well-being. There will be interactive and embodied exercises weaved throughout to keep you inspired and engaged. You will learn practices that will allow them to return to your daily lives and integrate the new information, experience, and inspiration individually and collectively.
