All of these additional resources are simply supplemental. If you would like to access more knowledge and information about topics that were discussed throughout the program, this is the place to find it! Surely, there are a plethora of resources out there, these are simply a few that I found that I think can be useful.
Mindful Minutes are small bits of mindfulness practices that can be used to keep up with wellness either on your own or with small groups of people. These can be used at meetings or any other time when you are gathered together and want to start off your time intentionally!
You can do as much or as little with them as you'd like. Reflection Questions can be included in an email for people to consider individually or used to start a discussion with others and share with the group.
