Mental resilience is the ability to stay when things are tough; the ability to maintain grace, gravitas, and strong decision-making skills in a storm. Resilience is a muscle built by the practice of meditation–the practice of stopping & staying when the mind wants to run.

This proprietary workshop is a training program for elite teams & organizations, and is being made available to HAE members by HAE-NYC Co-Chair Kirstin Broderick, the founder of NorthScale, a performance coaching, meditation, & mental resilience training firm.

If you think you can't meditate, want to graduate from an app, have tried before but gave up, or want to take a practice to the next level, this class can help. This workshop is built for both absolute beginners and existing practitioners (as Buddhism notes: we're always beginners).
