College life is stressful and moves at a relentless pace, making it easy for our minds to drift elsewhere. So often we get stuck replaying things that happened in the past or worrying about the future that we don’t pay attention to what is happening in the present moment. Mindfulness is the art of noticing, and in this workshop, we will slow down the pace a bit and bring our attention to the here-and-now to notice what is going on both within us and around us. With three different techniques to try, you’ll leave with strategies to return to the present moment whether you’re feeling overwhelmed or just wanting a moment of peace.
