HRKNSSremote: Clarity & Connection with Dan Huston, NHTI

In this workshop, Dan will introduce mindfulness to participants and explore with them ways it can help all of us manage the challenges we are facing related to the coronavirus. In these days of social distancing, the need to see things clearly is heightened. With that need comes an opportunity to develop qualities within ourselves such as patience, discipline, and nonreactivity. Our days require turning inward as well as  acting for the greater good of our community, our country, and the world. Mindfulness can help us do all of those things—and emerge as more centered, wise, and compassionate human beings.Dan Huston, MSTProfessor of Communication & WritingNHTI—Concord’s Community CollegeProfessor Huston teaches mindful communication and writing in the English Department at NHTI—Concord’s Community College.
