Mind Over Matter: Strategies for Thriving In a world full of stress, uncertainty, and nonstop demands, resilience isn’t just a luxury—it’s essential. Simply put, resilience is our ability to adapt, bounce back, and grow through life’s challenges—and it's a skill we can all strengthen. Join us for Mind Over Matter: Strategies for Thriving, a dynamic community town hall that puts your wellness in front and center. Come curious. Leave empowered. This engaging event invites you to explore resilience in a new way—across mind, body, and spirit. Whether you're feeling overwhelmed, seeking deeper purpose, or simply want to strengthen your coping strategies, this experience offers practical tools and powerful insights to help you bounce back stronger. Start your journey at our interactive Resilience Stations—hands-on activities designed to teach grounding techniques, mindfulness strategies, movement-based stress relief, and other wellness practices. Then, deepen your understanding through an expert-led panel exploring the mental, physical, and existential dimensions of resilience.
