In this session, use writing to explore how simply showing up and attending to your own experience is the starting point for attending to others. Through guided exercises, you'll have the opportunity to notice your personal, professional, and physical responses –– whether you're at a desk, in the community, clinic or a hospital room –– and to write about them in a reflective, open, non-evaluative way. See how being awake to yourself might help you be awake at work. No experience is necessary.
