At ABPA, we are being more intentional about pouring back into ourselves – our physicians, our students, and our broader community. We recognize that in order to continue serving others, we must also create space to restore, reflect, and reconnect.
This guided meditation will be led by Life Coach Kyron Green, whose presence, voice, and energy bring a grounded sense of clarity, authenticity, and calm.
Together, we will:

Pause and reset
Practice mindfulness and breathwork
Set intentions for the weeks ahead
Build community in a peaceful, supportive environment
