The Science and Practice of Mindfulness
by Dr. Laura Amoriello, Department of Performance Studies
When: Monday, February 25, 12:00-1:00pm

How can we encourage students to make mindfulness a part of their daily lives? Laura will share her experience teaching the Fall 2018 Ithaca Seminar, The Science and Practice of Mindfulness, including ideas for helping students commit to meditation and other mindful practices. In addition, as she has begun to incorporate mindful strategies into her music teaching, Laura will share which of these has proven helpful, both in and out of the classroom.
