Mindfulness on Campus

All students, faculty, and staff are invited to join a campus wide mindfulness practice either in person or online. Learning to be mindful can strengthen our community’s ability to deal with the world around us in a more compassionate way. Cultivating a mindfulness practice also helps address stress, anxiety, and depression that many of us struggle with in our lives.

Mindfulness word cloud on a white background.

Faculty and staff mindfulness practitioners from both the Emory and Marion campuses will lead participants in a mindfulness practice. Expect each session to teach you varying techniques. We hope this will be the beginning of a conversation and experience that could lead to more mindful experiences on our campus. Please see the schedule below and mark your calendars to join us.
