Mindfulness Workshop: Turning Towards the Good

Looking for more focus, calm, or loving kindness in your life this season? Portsmouth Public Library will host a series of free, one-hour online Mindfulness Workshops with popular teacher Liz Korabek-Emerson. Sign up for one or many!

Turning Towards the Good
Thursday April 21 | 6:30 – 7:30 PM

Our brains have a natural negative bias.  It’s easier to see what’s wrong than what’s right, even in the best of times. But we can train our brains to be more open to the good in our lives with HEAL, a mindfulness exercise developed by neuropsychologist, Rick Hansen PhD, author of Hardwiring Happiness. 

Participants will learn the HEAL technique and how to integrate it into their lives to strengthen their resiliency.

Registration is required.To view all workshops in this series, visit cityofportsmouth.com/library/news/mindfulness.
