Workshop: Mindfulness and Immersion (2:00 PM - 3:00 PM)

Maintaining focus and presence in a busy everyday life is easier said than done - and that is precisely what this workshop addresses. Research shows that regular mindfulness training affects the frontal lobes of the brain, which play a role in emotional regulation, memory, and motivation.

The workshop alternates between theory and practical exercises and is led by Jacob Piet, psychologist and Ph.D. in mindfulness from the Danish Center for Mindfulness at Aarhus University, and Gull-Maja La Cour, psychologist and mindfulness teacher at the Center for Meditation and Life Art. No prior experience is necessary - both beginners and more experienced practitioners are welcome. Yoga mats are provided.

The workshop runs from 14:00 to 16:00 in Meeting Room M2 and is part of the Folk University's knowledge festival Hearts & Minds. There is also a similar workshop from 15:30 to 16:30.
