Elon psychology professor, student present personal workshop May 7

Elon University psychology professor Julia Brandon and Elon student body President Mark Gustafson will present “Honoring Your Path,” a stress reducing, energy building workshop, from 7 p.m.- 9 p.m. Wednesday, May 7 at the Trinity Wholeness Center, located at 200 N. Main Street in Graham.

The presentation is based on a class Brandon taught during Elon’s Winter Term titled “The Psychology of Well-Being: Exploring Body, Mind and Spirit.” The course, as well as the workshop, share information and tools from positive psychology to help each individual live the best life possible. Workshop participants will practice life reflection and life planning that will culminate in the development of a personal mission statement.

Brandon is a yoga teacher at GlaxoSmithKline. Her workshops focus on stress reduction techniques derived from a combination of scientific research on work and life balance, meditation and yoga. Gustafson is a junior at Elon pursuing a business administration major and minors in economics and psychology.
