Virtual | CEW+INSPIRE Midweek Mindfulness Guided Sits
Every Wednesday 12:15 - 12:45pm
RSVP here: https://umich.zoom.us/meeting/register/tJAqceGoqDosHN15uxUlzCWWN6qwjNjSQpj_
Join us in community to practice mindfulness meditation, a life-enhancing skill that can be learned with consistent practice. This formal, largely-guided, practice utilizes evidence-based cognitive training that bolsters one's ability to handle stress, poor mood, and threat. This weekly mindfulness practice encourages present moment, non-judgemental, awareness – noticing where your focus and attention are and continually inviting attention to current mind and body sensations in a kind and compassionate way.
Mindfulness meditation opens the possibility to pause, gain perspective, attend to the present, and respond accordingly. In our ever-changing, complex, and challenging world, mindfulness can provide grounding. As one form of contemplative practice, mindfulness meditation can offer a framework to support a more skillful approach to navigating the demands of being human and support practitioners to build resilience and take compassionate action.
Whether you are new to mindfulness meditation or are an experienced practitioner, each session is designed to offer guidance and support to assist you. All are welcome to attend weekly or drop-in as their schedule allows.

Purpose Accelerator
Thursday, April 6 from 4:00- 5:30pm
Register Here to obtain the room location
You’ve probably heard that “knowing your why” is the heart of motivation, but perhaps accessing your why seems difficult. This is true for many of us. Join us for this accelerator where we will demystify the process of tapping into a sense of purpose and share practices that help you bring your unique why to life. Accelerate your purpose in your studies and in your work on a more regular basis with evidence-based methods that make your purpose accessible in your everyday activities. You will gain access to a reliable source of motivation that you can call on whenever you need it, and you will learn to work with others to help them tap into this source of inspiration as well. Accelerating our sense of purpose on a daily basis involves celebrating the contributions we make to a community, as well as elevating the contribution of others, so this accelerator will conclude with a fun and energizing celebration of all the people who contributed to our thriving this year.
Open to all University of Michigan students. Free registration required.
