Communities filled with abundant local food; with more local entrepreneurs driving our economy and creating jobs for our keiki and neighbors; and with more support for local families and communities, empowering everyone to thrive in our islands.
In this presentation will introduce the Children's Healthy Living Food System grant and work by the CTAHR Extension team and outreach program (CHL FSEO). Presenters will showcase creating logic models and then translating logic models into causal loop diagrams, and how this can be used by communities.

Mindfulness—the practice of present-moment awareness with openness and non-judgment—has been shown in the lab and across a variety of different contexts to enhance both personal well-being, creativity, and astute professionalism. By cultivating mindfulness, one can develop greater emotional regulation, mitigate burnout and anxiety, cognitive overload, and enhance resilience.
A cultivation of the right attention and awareness can also foster better work-life balance. A mindful scientist and citizen is more likely to engage in open-minded inquiry, listen deeply, and approach challenges with greater fines and composure.
This session intends to provide a brief, informal overview of mindfulness, including tips & basic practice as part of skillful living. Open discussion and dialogue will be encouraged to promote sharing and reflection and how to apply the “simple but not easy” practice to daily life.
