Health Promotion and Wellness Activities
Loving Kindness Meditation
Our most important relationship is the one we have with ourselves. Celebrate Student Health and Wellness' Love Week by joining counsellor, Holly Maki, for a guided love and kindness meditation.
Buddha said ‘unless we treat ourselves with love and compassion, we cannot reflect the same on others.’ Once we start experiencing self-love and self-compassion for ourselves, we can show the same to others too.
