| Mindfulness has been gaining acceptance within the legal profession as a technique for developing concentration, improving emotional resilience, and mitigating the stress of law work. And at a time when our society faces unusual polarization and conflict, often reflected in our cases and workplaces, mindfulness offers lawyers the means to meet those challenges with clarity and vigor, wisdom and compassion.
In this workshop/retreat, law professionals and students will have an opportunity to deepen their meditation practice through extended periods of sitting, walking, and moving meditation; to build community with fellow lawyer-meditators; and to explore the particular importance of mindfulness to lawyers in a time of considerable anxiety and rapid change.
This retreat is co-presented by Warrior One, a San Francisco-based firm offering mindfulness training to law professionals and legal institutions and Transforming Justice, a mindfulness training, advocacy and community building organization working to create a more fair and humane criminal justice system. |
