Living Well Alumnae Speaker Series Features Wilkes Chand '03

“We have a lot on our plates,” noted Chand to the assembled alumnae, whose class years spanned decades of the School’s history. “It can feel very heavy. All the more reason to work through some coping skills.”

Wilkes Chand focused on mindfulness as a way to reduce stress and offered advice on practicing mindfulness including getting comfortable, setting a time limit, observing your body, and focusing your attention. She also discussed how to make mindfulness a habit, including to make it obvious, attractive, easy, and satisfying.

“This was a great way for Chatham Hall alumnae to get together at the start of a busy season, and provide support to one another during what can be a very stressful time,” said Associate Director of Alumnae & Parent Relations Kristin Reese Solomon '08. “It was wonderful to see so many alumnae interested in learning more about how to live well.”
