    Product Description


    This program will be held online via Zoom. Due to MCLE's website infrastructure, there is no specific Zoom option to select. Instead, choose the in-person option to, in fact, register for the Zoom session. Prior to the program, registrants will receive an email with login information and instructions for the virtual Zoom session.

    Start the new year with tools and strategies that can improve your life and cultivate greater resilience, self-kindness, focus, and well-being. 

    In this half-day workshop, you hear about mindfulness and self-compassion and how it relates to law firms, legal services organizations, judges, and law students. You have the opportunity to experience various types of mindfulness and self-compassion practices, both formal and informal, and learn how to integrate them into your life and work so you can be more present, focused, balanced, and resilient. 

    Mindfulness provides new ways to respond to the inherent complexities of a busy and fast-paced career, and supports people in living life more fully, with greater ease and joy.
