This series is a follow-up to Dr. Jennifer Wheat Townsend’s free workshop in May, Looking Forward to a Year of Renewal and Rejuvenation: Emerging from the Pandemic to Focus on Educator Well Being.

Session 2: Fuel Your Body, Mind and Soul

In this session we’ll focus on nutrition and mindfulness—learning what your body needs to survive throughout the day and how this will impact you, giving you back time to do the things you care about most.
