The Columbia Law School Mindfulness Program invites you to a meditation for faculty, staff, and students, held via live-stream on Wednesday, February 3rd from 12:15 - 1 pm. These sessions are oriented to beginners and also open to those more experienced with mindfulness practices, and they include guided meditation as well as discussion of mindfulness meditation. Participants are also invited to bring lunch to these sessions and enjoy their meal in community. This week's session will be led by Lynn Koerbel (bio below).
This session offers an introductory training in a practice -- interpersonal mindfulness -- that targets the ability to connect and listen more effectively. These are skills not only useful for lawyers, but helpful to all of us during these times of disconnection. Interpersonal mindfulness is also an engaging way to practice mindfulness, with its broader benefits for improving focus and emotional self-regulation and reducing stress.
