September 16 - November 8

Who am I? What am I learning about myself during the pandemic and how can I live a life that supports my true self and values during uncertainty and change?

While adjusting to the uncertainties of this term, how do I find balance in various parts of life and develop a daily routine?

How can I balance planning for the future while embracing the life I am living now?

Start this new term (that is full of more uncertainly) by consciously creating your life to match your authentic self and ground in what is true for you. A chance to find support with other travelers on the path who are asking similar questions. Try a variety of mindfulness practices and experiment with integrating them into your daily life.

We will explore the following themes:

• Set goals for each area of your life this term to consciously create a sustainable daily routine
• Practice self-care and self-compassion: How will you sustain and take care of yourself going forward?
• When life changed in the pandemic, how was your sense of meaning, purpose, and personal success affected?
• Reflect on and articulate your values and life dreams
• Develop a mindful, compassionate definition of success
• Build confidence, purpose, and joy
• How to work with weaknesses and difficult emotions such as fear, loneliness, frustration or uncertainty
• Integrate gratitude into daily life while developing compassion for others and contributing to a better world

The course includes weekly 50 minute workshops with interactive group exercises, self-awareness and mindfulness practices to try at home, and a meeting with a staff coach. You will be guided in practicing daily mindfulness exercises in your own time and submit a short weekly reflection about your experiences of these exercises.

This series is funded by Student Open Circles and is open to post-secondary students at no cost.
