Find Your Inner Peace at the Zen Zone

Escape the conference hustle and rediscover your calm at the Zen Zone! This year, PEC is offering a dedicated space in the Lefevre Room for you to unwind and cultivate inner peace.

Step into the Zen Zone and:

Take a moment to breathe: Find a quiet corner and simply be present.
Engage in calming activities: We'll provide resources and activities designed to help you reset and recharge.
Prioritize your well-being: Remember, taking a break is not a luxury, it's essential for your mental and physical health.

We believe that working hard and caring for yourself go hand-in-hand. The Zen Zone is your sanctuary to find moments of joy, laughter, and relaxation amidst the conference. Feel free to drop by anytime you need a reset – you deserve it!

Set aside some time to promote calmness, joy, and clarity during your conference participation. Learn to integrate yoga breathing strategies and playful movement into your daily life with children.
