Looking to step up your performance without sacrificing your well-being? Corrie Falcon and Joe Glaser-Reich will be teaching an mPEAK (mindful performance enhancement, awareness and knowledge) class for UC San Diego’s Center for Mindfulness March 8-10. This class blends mindfulness, positive psychology, and performance psychology with an explicit focus on the application of mindfulness in high performance settings to achieve peak performance, build durable resilience, and cultivate sustainable well-being. It's also an amazing reason to travel to San Diego during the tail end of winter in most parts of the Northern Hemisphere.
