Download Your Free Mindfulness E-Workbook
Co-Chair Courtney Schulnick created a free E-Workbook that invites you to slow down, check in on yourself, and reconnect with the present moment, without adding more to your to-do list.
Inside, you’ll find simple practices you can easily weave into your day. Whether you're at your desk, in between meetings, or winding down at night, these gentle mindfulness tools are here to support you.
There’s no right or wrong way to begin. Just bring a kind, curious, and non-judging attitude to the experience.
Wellness Thursday
Co-Chair Courtney Schulnick offers free drop-in mindfulness sessions on most Thursdays from 4:00–4:15 PM ET.
These guided practices offer a brief, supportive pause to relax and recharge your body and mind—no prior meditation experience needed.
📅 To confirm whether a session is being held on a specific Thursday, please check Courtney’s calendar here for the most up-to-date schedule.
