Breathe It Out: Mindfulness is Self-Care

OVERVIEW
Jose Angel Castro will briefly introduce the concept and importance of mindfulness practice both as selfcare and as a means to facilitate creativity.

It is the deliberate act of paying deep attention to the moment you’re in right now for the purpose of regulating and resetting our mental, emotional, physical state. There’s no magic to it, just practice.
