Students - the Student Health & Counselling Centre invites you to join Dr. J. Lailey M.D. for a free, four-week workshop, Mindfulness for Students.

This workshop will introduce you to the skill of paying attention to your experience, in the present moment, without judgement.

This simple skill, which is more like an art, has a way of freeing us from our habitual patterns, helping us to live life more fully.

Whether you have practiced mindfulness before, or if you’re interested in trying it, this is a great chance to learn more. The workshop is from 12 pm (noon) - 2 pm at the Student Health & Counselling Centre on the following four Wednesdays: January 18 to February 8, 2017.

If you are interested, please come to the Student Health & Counselling Centre to complete a screening questionnaire that Dr. Lailey will review. You will then be contacted for further information.

Questionnaires accepted until Wednesday, Jan. 18, 2017.
