Winter is here. The stress of the semester is kicking in. This season can be especially challenging because of the cold weather and gray days, and this extra seasonal stress can have an impact on academic performance and even English communication effectiveness. This interactive workshop introduces strategies and resources to help you thrive this winter and beyond, with a special focus on practice of mindful listening which promotes a reduction of anxiety and stress, increased focus, and greater self-compassion. This practice can also improve your English listening comprehension! Please come prepared to participate actively in small groups.
