SUMMARY:Mindfulness and Stress Resilience Practices with Geeta Cowlagi
DESCRIPTION:The Standards of Excellence Committee is pleased to invite you to a mindfulness & resilience session led by Geeta Cowlagi\, Certified Mindfulness and Stress Resilience Teacher. \nStress impacts all our lives\, but especially in the last couple of years\, life has been challenging on several fronts.  We have all felt this\, directly or indirectly\, as we live with personal and collective isolation\, trauma\, and fear.   This has especially been true for the nonprofit sector as we serve the most vulnerable in our community.  Leading teams and working with clients who are burned out and stressed adds additional layers to the exhaustion from stress that we all carry.  Chronic stress takes a heavy toll on our minds\, hearts and bodies and often leads to burnout and significant health issues.  Understanding the science of stress helps to transform the depleting and damaging stress cycles into opportunities of growth\, connection\, and resilience.  Mindfulness and compassion tools offer simple ways to change and strengthen the protective neural pathways and begin to heal and thrive again. \nThis two-hour session will help One Voice Members with: \n\nUnderstanding the health and mental health impact of the extraordinary fatigue and burnout of the past years.\nConnecting to disconnection: Deepening the understanding of the neuroscience and physiology of stress to understand why we react the way we do.\nStress resilience begins with the radical idea of “turning towards” instead of “resisting” stress.\nCultivating wisdom to choose: Stress reactivity (fight-flight-flee) vs. Stress resilience (calm-connect-attend-befriend).\nLearning to thrive: Learning mindfulness tools to harness stress to create cycles of protection and healing\, increase creativity and connection.\n\nWhen: Friday\, May 6 from 10:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m. \nWho: One Voice Central Texas EDs\, CEOs\, and Designees \nWhere: Virtual – Please register here by Friday\, April 29.
