    Mindfulness and Well-being: Connecting Research to Practice by Dr. Rebecca Acabchuk

    Join us for the Department of Communication Speaker Series guest lecture taking place on Thursday, November 12th at 12:30-1:45pm with Dr. Rebecca Acabchuk. Mindfulness-based programs have gained in popularity in recent years, but how do we translate this research into tools to improve our own wellbeing? This presentation will review the neuroscience of meditation, as well as engage participants in an experiential journey to contemplate key concepts of mindfulness-based practices, including embodiment, self-compassion, and connection.
