workshops & mindfulness training
Jan Bidwell offers workshops and presentations designed to help individuals and organizations develop resilience, focus, and emotional balance through mindfulness and awareness practices. Drawing from decades of experience as a meditation teacher, psychotherapist, musician, and author, Jan’s workshops explore how attention, habits of mind, and nervous system awareness influence our sense of wellbeing. These programs provide practical tools that help people respond to life’s challenges with greater steadiness and clarity.
building resilience through mindfulness
Modern neuroscience shows that the brain has the ability to change. When we intentionally train our attention and develop healthy mental habits, we strengthen our ability to navigate stress and recover from difficulties.
​
Through guided practices and experiential learning, Jan helps participants understand how simple daily practices can improve emotional regulation, increase resilience, and support overall wellbeing. Mindfulness training teaches us how to remain steady in difficult moments rather than becoming overwhelmed by them.
what participants learn
Workshop participants explore practical skills that can be integrated into daily life, including:
• mindfulness and nervous system awareness
• meditation and attention training
• emotional regulation practices
• cultivating positive mental habits
• developing resilience during stressful situations
These exercises are simple and accessible, though like any skill they require repetition and practice to become part of everyday life.
experiential learning
Jan’s workshops combine teaching, mindfulness practices, and guided exercises that help participants experience the principles being discussed.
Participants may engage in:
• breathing and focus exercises
• mindfulness meditation
• awareness practices for emotional balance
• reflection and discussion
These experiential elements help translate concepts into real-world skills that participants can continue to practice long after the workshop ends.
workshops for communities and organizations
Workshops can be designed for a variety of settings including community groups, wellness programs, professional organizations, and educational environments. Each program can be tailored to the needs of the group while maintaining the core goal of helping participants cultivate resilience, clarity, and awareness.
