NAAAP Wellness Wednesday: 

Finding Harmony Within: Cultivating Spiritual Well-being for Resilience in the Face of Burnout

Feeling the pressure to succeed? Struggling to find balance amidst busy schedules? This interactive workshop explores the concept of spiritual well-being as a source of strength and resilience for Asian professionals.

Weaving together Eastern practices and mindfulness techniques, we will delve into:

• Understanding Spiritual Wellbeing: Explore different perspectives on spiritual well-being from various Asian traditions and cultures.
• Challenges and Opportunities: Discuss the specific challenges Asian professionals face in cultivating spiritual well-being, and identify opportunities for growth.
• Practical Tools: Discover practical tools and techniques inspired by Qi Gong, mindfulness meditation, and other practices to:
  • Manage stress and anxiety
  • Enhance focus and clarity
  • Promote inner peace and self-compassion
