12:00 PM – 12:30 PM Mindfulness Session (Saskia de Jager)

All students, PhD students, and postdocs are kindly invited to join an introductory mindfulness session (30 minutes) on Zoom. The session will be conducted by Saskia de Jager (psychologist ) who has ample experience as a mindfulness trainer. The session will consist of a short introduction, an excercise, and some time for questions. Karin de Boer will host the session.

Mindfulness is the natural ability to give attention to whatever occurs from moment to moment: to the field of sensory perception, and parallel to this, to our inner response to it, which has a physical, an affective and a mental side. Mindfulness training allows us to optimize this natural ability for open and concentrated attention and might help reduce stress.
