What is it?

Attention is a skill, and like any skill, it gets sharper with practice. Mindfulness Daily at Work is a free 40-day program featuring short daily teachings and guided meditations from Jack Kornfield and Tara Brach.

• Daily Practice: 10 to 15 minutes per day, designed to build focus and steady clarity.

• Flexible Location: Practice at your desk, at home, or wherever fits into your daily routine.

• Self-Paced Timeline: You receive 78 days total to complete the 40 days, so a missed day or week won't set you back.

• Live Webinars: Includes three live webinars with expert guest speakers along the way.
