| Agenda Summary
ASERL BIPOC Leadership Development Mini-Conference Georgia Tech – July 2023 |
|||
| Wednesday, July 19, 2023 | |||
| 9:00am | Welcome, Introductions, Icebreaker | ||
| 10:00am | Session #1: Mindfulness: One to Many – Mitsuko Ito. Join us as we explore and demystify some body-centered approaches to stress management. According to 10 years of studies done at Harvard Medical, stimulating specific pressure points down-regulates the amygdala — the stress center in our limbic brain — leading to an overall feeling of reduced stress and more calm and balance. Learn the basics of some free, easy, and potentially powerful vagal toning, self-help stress management tools literally available at your fingertips. | ||
