Topic List: 30-min Workshop + 10-min Q&A
Active Listening
Have you ever heard that humans have two ears and only one mouth for good reason? Being a good listener is a vital skill in building trust and meaningful relationships, resolving conflict, retaining information, and managing your emotions. This workshop will explore some simple and meaningful ways to improve your active listening skills.
Build Connections
Social connection is a key factor in living longer, healthier, and happier lives. This interactive workshop taps into the healing power of connection and relationships for ourselves and for building a sense of shared humanity with others.

Caregiving Well-Being
Do you help care for a family member with a chronic condition? If so, you know that caregiving is very rewarding but can also be quite challenging. Caregivers often put their own well-being and care at the bottom of their ‘to-do’ list. This workshop highlights tools, resources, and strategies to help fuel your own mental and physical well-being so you can best care for your loved ones.
Digital Well-Being
How often do you check
your email or get trapped
in an “endless scroll” on
social media? This workshop will help you use both technology and behavior change strategies to use your digital tools more mindfully. Participants are encouraged to bring their devices (phones, tablets, laptops, etc.), as this workshop will walk through making real changes and building habits for digital well-being.
Mental Health on
the Menu
The gut can be thought of as the “second brain” when it comes to responding to stimuli and producing feel- good neurotransmitters like serotonin and dopamine. This workshop will explore ways to support a healthy and diverse gut microbiome with food choices. Participants will plan meals and snacks that include plenty of gut-friendly foods that fit their preferences and lifestyle.
Balanced Thinking
Negative thinking traps can be easy to fall into, like jumping to conclusions or being overly self-critical. If you get stuck in them too often, chronic stress and anxiety can take hold. This workshop will explore tools you can use to challenge and re-frame these thoughts. Develop and practice more balanced, realistic, and self-compassionate ways to approach negative self-talk.
Bedtime
Sleeping better can be a game-changer for mental, emotional, and physical well- being. But how do you “turn your brain off” or help your body feel more ready to sleep? This workshop will focus on steps you can take as you
get ready for bed that better support your body’s natural rhythms. Come away with a personal plan for routine bedtime success.
Mindful Eating
Have you ever experienced “autopilot eating” -- finishing a meal without really tasting or enjoying it? Mindful eating flips the script on that. This mind-body approach to eating brings your full attention to what you are eating, engaging your senses and connecting to your hunger and fullness signals. This workshop highlights tools and techniques you can use to eat more mindfully—and truly enjoy your meal!
Engage Online for Good
You may often hear about the need to decrease our use of social media, but it can also be a powerful tool for good. Social media can be a platform for intentionally showing and spreading kindness, which can amplify its ripple effect even more. This workshop explores practical ways to connect, be kind to others, and spread positivity with people online.
Garden-Fresh Eating
Growing, sharing, and buying local produce brings people together.
