Mindfulness
Below are a few videos about why and how we practice this at Bay.
One of our alumni, Annie Obermeyer '08 puts it beautifully: Mindfulness "gives you the ability to be with whatever arises, and you have the tools so that you can land in a way that's responsive and responding versus reacting.... In moments of ‘I don't know,’ do you have the skills to find yourself, trust your own voice, and to trust life? If you only have those skills—'I know how to trust myself, and I know how to listen to life and trust life'—no matter what's happening, you can meet it, you can navigate it."
