how will AI shape the mindfulness field; how will personalization and algorithms create products for students and what role will mindfulness teachers play
embrace the potential of AI while remaining vigilant of its ethical implications and use in the mindfulness space
Compassion, empathy and AI
how to worry wisely about AI
opportunities, challenges and ethical issues of using tech /AI for teaching mindfulness
impact of tech on our attention and sense of self – how can mindfulness teachers help their students navigate this

AI is all around us and our space will be impacted by its many layers and considerations so it is important to become more literate in AI.

We’ll revisit the way the topic of making requests. If you didn’t attend the July session, no worries. We’ll review the topic for new folk. In the meantime, I invite you to pay attention to when you do—and don’t!—make requests. Be curious about how you feel in the body. If you end up making the request, how does it go? If you don’t make the request, what other need of yours might you be meeting?

MCMT : Stress Management and Mindfulness
2024-07-13 12:00 - 13:30
Facilitator Bio: Cheryl Alexander is a certified Stress Management Consultant, with a passion for understanding how stress can be a major factor in health. She graduated from the MMTCP program in 2023. Through her own healing from an autoimmune condition 25 years ago, she found her way back to health using guided imagery, yoga, and meditation. During her MSW, she completed a practicum in the Hilltribes of Thailand. It was here where she became interested in and studied Vipassana in Bangkok. She continues to explore various other healing modalities. She has previously worked in health care supporting chronic disease prevention and tobacco cessation. She is also part of a non-fiction writing group.

We will discuss mindfulness and the five pillars of high-level wellness as fundamental principles that promote overall well-being and balance in life. Mindfulness and stress management are complementary, as both enhance mental well-being and reduce the negative impact of stress. We will take a closer look at stress management strategies and explore how mindfulness practices intertwine to support them.
