Full course description

Tuesday, October 12th, 2021 | 6:30-8:00pm (ET)-- Fully Online Workshop

Description:

Staying focused in the era of digital distractions is a big challenge in our society. Moreover, it is not just the distraction itself but also a post-distraction period, which obliterate chunks of our life. Both distraction and post-distraction prevent us from being present to ourselves, to others and from having a satisfied life. The workshop will introduce us to a deeper understanding about the losses due to distractions and teach us strategies for overcoming them. 

Workshop Description:

The sources of burnout are many and varied such as: lack of control, unfairness, work overload, breakdown of community, loss of meaning, etc. Being well equipped in order to successfully handle these storms in our personal and/or professional life is key.

In this multi-day workshop series, we will explore and work on the 4 cornerstones of our well-being: focus, positive self-talk, connection, and meaning. Our approach to this topic also includes an infusion of Ignatian spirituality.

Participants are encouraged to attend all 4 workshops, however, there is no requirement to do so.

Timeline and Requirements:

The course will take place on Tuesday, October 12th, 2021.  This workshop is presenter-led and is a fully online experience. This will be conducted synchronously online via Zoom from 6:30 pm-8:00 pm (EST).
