Mindfulness drop-in
Mindfulness is the practice of intentionally bringing one’s attention to the present moment (e.g., feelings, thoughts, and physical sensations) with openness, gentleness, and non-judgement.
The Zen Dens are introducing 30-minute mindfulness drop-in sessions to offer a virtual space for students to slow down, settle the mind, and recharge as the busyness of the end of the semester approaches. Each session will involve a theme, a guided meditation, and an opportunity to share your experience. You do not need prior mindfulness experience to participate.
