On Monday, October 20, Mindful Mondays returns with an uplifting evening focused on brain wellness—offering participants a chance to begin the week with intention, clarity and calm. This special session, led by Michael Lehrman, certified mindfulness coach and co-publisher of Natural Awakenings NYC/Long Island, is designed to boost focus, reduce anxiety, and support lasting cognitive vitality.

The virtual gathering will feature a restorative blend of guided meditation, breathwork and mindful movement—evidence-based practices shown to promote neuroplasticity, improve memory and mood, and enhance mental resilience. Whether attendees are new to mindfulness or looking to deepen their current practice, this experience provides practical tools to help rewire stress responses and cultivate inner stillness.

“There’s no better time to invest in mental fitness,” says Lehrman. “Mindful Mondays reminds us that brain health isn’t just about performance—it’s about peace, presence and the power of daily practice. We invite you to join us in cultivating brain gain through stillness—nourishing both the nervous system and the soul.”
