Mindfulness Meditation for Restorative Health (No-Cost By UC Health Provider Referral Only, Virtual 4-Week Series)

Mindfulness Meditation for Restorative Health (By UC Health Provider Referral Only)

Mindfulness Meditation for Restorative Health is a supportive, therapeutic series designed specifically for individuals living with chronic health conditions. This four-part program offers practical mindfulness tools to support coping, resilience, and self-regulation in the context of ongoing health challenges.

Mindfulness meditation involves intentionally paying attention to the present moment with openness and without judgment. Through guided practices and reflection, participants are invited to cultivate awareness, emotional balance, and a greater sense of ease in daily life.

The series meets for one hour once a week and is offered virtually, creating an accessible and supportive learning environment.
