In today’s world, using social media can feel challenging to both avoid, and to navigate. Learning about and keeping up with the different platforms, reducing time spent scrolling and understanding the rules of engagement can often make social media feel stressful and overwhelming.
And so, we’re delighted to offer you this 1.5-hour workshop, led by content creator, mindfulness leader and speaker, Ted Meissner, to support you with using social media more mindfully and to help foster your well-being as you engage online.
Over the course of this interactive session, you’ll discover how to connect on social media in ways that support your mental health.
You’ll be guided through some of the opportunities as well as some of the challenges of engaging with social media, choices about media platforms and be given best practice recommendations.
At the end of the workshop, you’ll come away with a greater sense of clarity, intention and ease.
