Mindfulness as a strategy for living well with dementia
Wednesday, November 20 from 2 to 3:30 p.m. PT
There is so much about life that we can’t control. We never know how things will unfold as we move forward. Cognitive change can blow in like a harsh wind and toss us around like a ship at sea. Just as we have no control over the weather; we have no control over the unfolding of cognitive change. So how can we meet the challenges with wisdom and compassion? We can learn to adjust our sails using mindful awareness. Join Dr. Liz Drance as she guides you through mindfulness practices that can support your ship when the stormy weather of cognitive change hits!
