The goal of this clinical trial is to explore possible benefits and mechanisms through which the Somatic Psychoeducational Intervention can improve health and wellness. The main goals of the study are: * To understand how the participants are doing with regard to their mindfulness, coping behaviors, emotional, physical, and work health, and autonomic reactivity (the degree participants physiologically respond). * To examine regulation of the oxytocinergic system * To investigate whether pre-intervention measures relate to the overall functioning * To determine the 1-week and 1-month post-intervention effects of the Intervention(s) * To identify individual characteristics that influence the effectiveness of the intervention at the 1-week and 1-month post-intervention assessments. Participants will: * complete the online pre-assessment measures regarding how they are doing emotionally and with respect to their work situation. * listen to 15-minutes of calming music and provide pre and post-music salivary samples * complete pre-intervention, post-intervention, 1-week post-intervention, and 1-month post-intervention assessments that involve completion of online measures and collection of saliva samples. * participate in the intervention (which involves 4 hours; the 1-hour classes will be administered over four weeks). Researchers will compare the Intervention Group A (in-person) to Intervention Group B (virtual) to see if the Intervention Group A experiences greater improvements in their health and wellness.
