MINDFUL CAMPUS INITIATIVE

Help clear your mind and build resiliency through free mindfulness resources. Take part in our increased mindfulness programming and peer support hours, or join the Mindfulness for Resiliency program, developed specifically for Canada’s art and design students by The Centre for Mindfulness Studies. This program is open to all students at Concordia, regardless of program or faculty.

What is Mindfulness?

Mindfulness is a way of paying attention to the present moment—our thoughts, emotions, and sensations—on purpose and non-judgementally. By guiding our attention in this way, we can affect our behaviour, and get on the way to feeling calmer, happier, and more empowered.

Take a look at our resources for cultivating mindfulness in your artistic practice and everyday life. Subscribe to our newsletter and consult the ressources below to learn more.
