Participants will learn how to focus their attention on the present moment and how to observe their thoughts and feelings without judgment. This will provide a foundation for the rest of the workshop and help participants understand the importance of mindfulness in their daily lives.  Each practice will be explained in detail, and participants will have the opportunity to try them out for themselves. The facilitators will also teach participants how to incorporate these practices into their daily routine, so they can continue to benefit from them even after the workshop is over.
