MILS MEMBER-ONLY VIRTUAL RETREAT
Saturday, October 17
10 am - 1:30 pm ET / 9 am - 12:30 pm CT /7 am - 10:30 am PT
Join Lex Firehawk, Retreat Chair, MILS Co-President & Co-Chair of the Arizona Chapter for this Event!
The Retreat sessions and practices will be led by Veronica Morelli, Peru Chapter Chair, Claire Parsons, Greater Cincinnati Chapter Chair and Courtney Schulnick, Mid-Atlantic Chapter Co-Chair.
Arriving & Settling: Mindful Movement and Meditation
Courtney will begin the day with a brief orientation to the retreat space (some housekeeping instructions), followed by gentle mindful movement and gentle standing mindful yoga to invite the body to settle, release tension, and incline toward greater ease and presence. From there, we'll transition into a seated guided meditation, offering an opportunity to slow down, turn inward, and more fully arrive. Together, these practices will support participants in shifting from the busyness of everyday life into a more spacious, grounded, and receptive state of awareness as we begin our time together.
Mindful Communication: The Inner Work of Listening and Responding
Veronica will lead a session which explores how mindfulness and self-awareness can transform the way we listen, communicate, and respond, especially in challenging professional situations. Participants will be invited to notice their automatic reactions and cultivate greater awareness of how they listen and relate to others, fostering a more conscious and compassionate approach to communication.
Mindfulness and Letting Go of Perfectionism
Perfectionism is a common trait for lawyers, but it is one that can complicate life, work, and mindfulness practice. Claire will lead a talk to discuss how to build a practice around right effort and the impact that this can have for legal professionals off the cushion.
This Retreat is your chance to slow down, breathe, and refill your cup alongside a community of legal professionals who value well-being as a foundation of the practice.
