This workshop is co-hosted by the Mindfulness Institute and the University of South Florida Department of Rehabilitation & Mental Health Counseling.

  • Practice the basics of mindfulness with instruction and guidance
  • Learn mindfulness exercises to incorporate throughout the day 
  • Develop a plan for implementing and maintaining a regular mindfulness practice
