Psychology of Mindfulness
Celine Kavalec & Hank Van Putten
Mindfulness has swept the globe in the last decade, finding a home in both religious
and secular communities. Plucked from the Buddhist practice of Vipassana meditation
(insight meditation), mindfulness offers a method for training the brain that has
influenced Western clinical therapeutic approaches. This workshop will explore those
influences, offer testimonies from practitioners on the impact of regular sitting
meditation, and provide opportunities to engage in varied short practices.
Time: 9:00 a.m. – 10:15 a.m.
Venue: Virtual
Empathy and Self Compassion
Celine Kavalec and Lianna McGowan
Brene Brown writes, “Empathy builds connection.” In fact, empathy is a critical tool
in cultivating a compassionate presence to support others in times of need. Different
from sympathy, this skill can be developed in each of us and begins with the ability
to show self-compassion. This workshop will lead participants through exercises that
build self-compassion and empathetic responses to others.
Time: 10:30 a.m. – 11:45 a.m.
Venue: Virtual
Coping with Stress: ACEs and Resilience
Linda Freeman
This presentation will provide an overview of the impact of adverse childhood experiences
on latter development and explore ways to navigate through students' behavioral and
emotional problems in our classroom.
Time: 1:00 p.m. – 2:15 p.m.
Venue: Virtual
Healing Circle
Aida Diaz & Josh Bell
Healing Circles are a safe space for conversation, designed to remove blaming and
shaming and to welcome honest, open sharing of our personal experiences, struggles,
and triumphs. Human connection and having a community of support are significant ways
to build resilience.
Time: 2:30 p.m. – 3:45 p.m.
Venue: Virtual
