Building Resilience for Yourself and Others Presenter: Sue Campbell, OUT Maine Life is full of highs and lows. Negative experiences can shape our past and resound into our future, sometimes resulting in depression, anxiety, physical illnesses, substance misuse and unhealthy relationships. In this workshop, you will learn how to reshape your path and gain tools to reduce the impact of negative experiences for yourselves and others.

Susan Hage, DO, will share how lifestyle changes and nonsurgical techniques can improve quality of life and help manage chronic pain without the use of medication. Participants will learn how to incorporate some of these strategies into their daily lives and have the opportunity to experience some of the treatments available.

Fabulous Florals (and Cake!) Collage Presenter: Chrissy Richards Unplug and join us for this hands-on workshop that offers time to slow down and create something you’ll be happy to share. Using beautiful papers, you will learn how to identify shapes and put them together in this most forgiving art form.

How to Reach Financial Wellness Presenter:

Lauren C. Lambert, CFA

Do your financial goals –retirement, education, security in tough times -- seem out of reach? Are you aware of how your attitude toward money affects your decisions and financial well-being? Focusing on your long-term financial health and making a plan can have a positive impact on both your stress level and your bottom line.

Financial Advisor Lauren Lambert, senior portfolio manager at Boston Advisors, LLC, will discuss the keys to financial security and the importance of making your savings grow. Participants will leave with new ideas about building your financial confidence, next steps toward achieving their goals and advice on where to get help.

Saturday, May 19, 2018 | 8:00 a.m. – 3:30 p.m.

Point Lookout Resort and Conference Center Mindfulness: Living Your Life with Ease Presenter: Mary Doyle, RN, BSN, MA Mindfulness is about "training the mind" to have more focus and clarity, to connect with yourself in a deeper way, to enhance your relationships with others, and mostly it’s about learning how to live with less reactivity and with more ease. This workshop will explore how to integrate the practice of Mindfulness into everyday life, explore what meditation is and isn’t, and provide practical strategies for reducing stress and improving well-being.
