Find Clarity and Light at Summer Webinar from Wellspring EAP

ALLtech’s employee assistance program, Wellspring EAP, offer a series of webinars each month that are focused on seasonal wellness. Join Wellspring for the next live event on Seasonal Practices to Nurture Well-Being: Summer, from noon to 1 p.m. Wednesday, June 22:

Summer begins with the day of the longest light and shortest darkness. Summer can signal a sense of abundance — markets are filled with fresh, colorful produce, outdoor events and gatherings of friends and family call us together, and more daylight encourages us toward increased activity. After a long season of struggle — a season that some of us still find ourselves in — this invitation to acknowledge the light and recognize abundance may feel welcomed, and it may be difficult to embrace. During this season, the light can help us find clarity and reveal areas of our lives that want and/or need our attention. In this session, facilitated by Janet Novinger, we will explore breathing and movement practices that harmonize with the invitations that this season can hold.

Watch Now: Leadership Tools to Refresh and Energize Your Body, Mind and Heart

To help support wellness in the workplace and beyond, ALLtech is reaching out to invite members and the greater tech community to the valuable workshop series Mindfulness for People Leaders from partner Newfront.

The above video, Refill Your Cup, is the most recent workshop from March 22, which offers resources to help you:

  • Recognize the warning signs of chronic stress and burnout.
  • Build the habits that refresh and energize the body, mind and heart.

These are important topics after the past two years of unprecedented challenges and transformational change to the workplace, from managing the pandemic to addressing racial inequalities, to enabling a work-from-home workforce. And for each of these challenges, people leaders have been called on to help organizations adapt and thrive. This has stretched people to the limits of their capabilities.

Designed to help people leaders build the mindset and skills to navigate the challenges of their roles, the workshop series provides powerful, mindfulness-based tools and techniques to avoid burnout, increase resilience, and enhance their effectiveness in the crucial roles that they play.

Explore Breathing, Movement that Harmonizes with Spring to Nurture Well-Being

As winter gives way to spring, the days are becoming longer and nights shorter. Around us, we see evidence flourishing, as plants and trees leaf out and blossom, bird nests become filled with hatchlings. Spring is in the air, and yet we may feel some dissonance between our own sense of weariness and the energy and new life we’re observing in the natural world. If we can pay attention to the way we respond to the changes in light and temperature, we can line up with this season of new growth to enhance our own well-being.

Wellspring EAP, which offers the employee assistance program to ALLtech members, invites you to make the most of the season with help from its webinar on “Seasonal Practices to Nurture Well-Being: Spring,” from noon to 1 p.m. Thursday, April 14, 2022. In this session, we will explore breathing and movement practices that harmonize with spring, which can help to cultivate growth that we long for in our own lives.
