Intro to Mindfulness Part 1 Fall Cohort 2
2025-10-21 16:30 - 2025-11-11 17:45 | Online
Mason students, staff, and faculty can learn more about mindfulness and meditation through two different four-week programs created by the Mindfulness Institute for Emerging Adults (MIEA).
This evidence-based curriculum teaches mindfulness, meditation, and stress management in ways you can integrate into your busy life. Studies suggest that the training leads to significant well-being benefits, such as better sleep, less perceived stress, and more self-compassion.
While these programs are designed with young adults in mind, the benefits are not limited to young adults, so you’re encouraged to sign up regardless of your age.
Register for an opportunity to learn mindfulness and meditation techniques via Zoom:

Intro to Mindfulness Part 1 Fall Cohort 2: Tuesdays from 4:30 p.m. to 5:45 p.m. on October 21 and 28 and November 4 and 11. – Register here
