From Doing to Being: Choosing Kindness A Workshop for Mental Health

Kindness is often thought of as a personality trait or a “nice-to-have” value, however neuroscience tells a very different story. In this interactive and experiential session, participants will explore kindness as a powerful wellness practice that shapes our brains, regulates our nervous systems, and influences how we show up for ourselves and others. Through guided reflection, simple breathing practices, and evidence-based insights from neuroscience, attendees will experience kindness not just as an idea, but as a felt state in the body.

The session invites participants to examine how modern life pulls us into constant “doing,” and how intentional moments of kindness and self-compassion help us reconnect with our sense of being. Attendees will leave with a deeper understanding of how kindness supports emotional regulation, empathy, and wellbeing. They will take away one simple, actionable kindness practice they can begin using immediately in daily life.

• Understand why kindness is biologically powerful, not just emotionally meaningful.
• Experience how kindness and self-compassion regulate the nervous system.
• Explore the connection between identity, stress, and wellbeing.
• Learn how small, consistent acts of kindness reshape the brain.
• Leave with a personal kindness practice to support wellness and resilience.
