The Annual Mindful Break Course
Everyday life can feel like a lot to juggle, with work, family, health, aging parents, mental health issues, and other concerns. St. Margaret Foundation recognizes that this can add up and cause overwhelming stress.
That is why we are once again offering our supporters access to the annual Mindful Break Meditation 8-Session Virtual Course this year starting on April 13, 2026. If you register, you will learn and practice techniques to relax, revitalize, and renew right from the comfort of your computer or phone.
What is the Course About? Each 30-minute session of The Mindful Break holds a 15-minute mindfulness video on topics such as staying focused, finding your purpose, eliminating head trash, and more. This is followed by a 15-minute meditation to help you feel revitalized, refreshed, and renewed right away. The sessions are sent once a week.
We originally created this course for our dedicated St. Margaret staff who work tirelessly caring for our patients. We know that stress affects your health, work, eating habits, and sleep. In 2022, we opened it to our donors and other supporters because we know you, too, are juggling many issues such as anxiety, grief, disappointment, and relationships. The response was overwhelmingly appreciative. The Mindful Break is an eight-session Mindfulness Course and Meditation series that will drop into your email every week starting Monday, April 13th for those who register. These exclusive sessions will stay live for a limited time. This series is available free to our donors, staff, and friends because we appreciate you.
Instructor: The course is taught by Mary Lee Gannon, ACC, CAE - the former President of St. Margaret Foundation - who is a graduate of the UCLA Mindful Awareness Practices Program, a graduate of Georgetown University’s Search Inside Yourself Leadership Institute created at Google, and an International Coach Federation Certified Coach (ACC), as well as a Certified Professional Coach by Duquesne University (PC).
You must register by April 12, 2026 to receive the course in your inbox.
