The practice of mindfulness offers a way to become calmer and more open while working in pressured and challenging environments. A calmer life both in and out of our work settings is essential to sustaining ourselves and being effective with our clients, our colleagues, our supervisors and court personnel. Mindfulness meditation, reflections and discussion will guide us in this exploration.
