Mindfulness
| Description | Faculty sponsor | other important information |

| Students and faculty practice different mindfulness techniques to cultivate a sense of calm and well being. Mindfulness helps reduce stress while improving our ability to focus. Instead of following ever-changing thoughts or outside stimulus, we practice awareness of our experience here and now, and do so with kindness and compassion. Mindfulness is an intentional state of focused, nonjudgmental awareness of the present moment. Our regular practices are a peaceful break in the day, and provide students with techniques to use whenever they feel stressed or overwhelmed. | ||
