Sharpening Minds with Mindfulness: Clear Mind, Clear Work

Awaken Pittsburgh is a secular organization that draws on the wisdom of mindfulness and meditation to serve the public. Inspired by mounting neuroscientific research that mindfulness training can reduce stress and increase well-being, we have tailored our Mindful Connections™ for teams on organization series to reach those who want to bring mindfulness into their work life.

These interactive sessions invite participants to experience how mindfulness can support you to make choices that move you toward integrity, compassion, and connection.

Join us on July 29, 2025 for our second worksop in this partnership with COhatch.

Presenter: Stephanie Romero, Awaken Pittsburgh Executive Director

Dr. Stephanie Maietta Romero, founder and Executive Director of Awaken Pittsburgh, works to bring mindfulness practices to those who are experiencing high levels of stress and secondary trauma throughout Western PA.

Dr. Romero has 20+ years of experience teaching elementary, middle school, high school, and college students. She is a certified Meditation and Mindfulness Instructor, 200RYT Antiracist Raja Yoga teacher and has been a meditator and mindfulness practitioner since the early 2000s.

Finding that her meditation practice profoundly influenced both her personal and professional lives, Dr. Romero explored the integration of mindfulness into her classroom space through her dissertation, culminating three years of research into mindfulness in education.

She is grateful to be able to bring these life-changing practices to individuals and systems every day.
