A new fellow MHP member, Sara Robertson, has generously offered to share her valuable expertise, skills and passion with us for the evening discussing Mindfulness and Peak Performance.  In this session, Sara Robertson will lead us through a combination of theory and practice to explore the relationships among meditation, perfectionism, mindfulness, and performance. Covering a variety of performance related topics such as:

• The science, practice, philosophy and processes that affect optimal performance
• How to perform more effectively using encouragement, reward and self-compassion
