Another important ingredient of living a balanced, happy life involves the ability to experience the present moment rather than getting wrapped up in thoughts or storylines about the past or future. A LOT of research has shown the benefits of a mindfulness practice - individuals with chronic pain have even reported lower pain levels. This workshop would be informative - I'd go over the research and the basics of what "Mindfulness" of and where it comes from - and practical with group exercises designed to ease folks into understanding "mindfulness" on the experiential level.
