    Teens and adults ages 14 and up, are invited to join us at UNH’s Browne Center, located in Durham, NH, to participate in several different mindfulness-based activities to build their self-awareness and better manage their stress. Our skilled educators will guide them through a variety of mindfulness exercises, demonstrating its ease of application as well as its immediate and long-term benefits. Whether it’s yoga, journaling, or a walk in the woods, participants will be encouraged to reflect, learn, and connect with others in a safe and supportive environment. We only ask that you come with an open mind and heart, and maybe a yoga mat if you have one.
