Did you know that studies have shown that the biggest factor that influences how long you live is not nutrition or exercise… but how socially connected you are?

In this fast paced, technological world, it is all too easy to become disconnected and out of balance. In this one hour connection workshop we will dive into the nature of mind and the power it has over our experience. Through the exploration of mindfulness, compassion and communication practices we will come away equipped with tools to support us in navigating the stressors of the hospitality industry, coping with challenging emotions and re-establishing a stronger and more positive connection with ourselves, others and our environment.
