Join Healthy Acadia on Thursday, October 5, 2023, from 5 p.m. to 6 p.m., via Zoom for "Building Empathy and Self-Empathy with Mindfulness," with special guest Peggy Smith.

The free online event is the latest installment in Healthy Acadia’s Monthly Mindfulness series. We are often told to “be more empathic”, and we are left to figure out what that means. Join mindfulness teacher Peggy Smith for an engaging workshop that seeks to demystify the concept of empathy.

In this session, participants will delve into concrete and easily graspable strategies that enable you to provide empathic responses when dealing with distress. Practice specific, easy-to-learn strategies to offer ourselves and others an empathic response to upset.
