Thriving with ADHD: Cultivate Focus, Emotions, and Self-Compassion through Mindfulness!
Navigating adulthood with ADHD can include a range of complex challenges that impact various aspects of life. While medication can offer relief, it might not fully address the broader functional difficulties.
Elevate your focus, enhance emotional regulation, and cultivate self-acceptance and self-compassion. Our comprehensive 8-week Mindfulness for ADHD workshop is designed to improve core ADHD symptoms—such as inattentiveness, hyperactivity, impulsivity, and executive function—while fostering personal growth.
Our 8-week Mindfulness for ADHD group series combines practical insights with mindfulness techniques tailored to ADHD needs. Throughout the workshop, you’ll gain an enhanced understanding of ADHD, explore the transformative potential of mindfulness, and receive ADHD-adapted, step-by-step guidance to establish a mindfulness practice.
This workshop offers more than learning; it’s an opportunity to make connections, embrace enjoyable experiences, and discover a diverse array of mindfulness approaches—from serene meditation to dynamic movement exercises to uncover the mindfulness strategies that resonate with you!
