Join SLCC faculty Heidi O’Donoghue and Andrea Malouf each week for Meditative Pause for People in Higher Education. Each week we will take a break from doing and problem-solving to come together for ½ hour sessions to connect, relax and center via web-ex. We’ll explore breathing and relaxation techniques, as well as best practices for mindful communication and well-being. Each session will include a very brief introduction to the weekly topic, a guided meditation and then a short group reflection.
No prior experience or registration required. Just join when you can. If you’d like to receive weekly web-ex reminders, please send your email and your department name to Andrea (andrea.malouf@slcc.edu) or Heidi (heidi.o’donoghue@slcc.edu). Or just email with questions.
Fall Session 2020: Tuesdays from 1–1:30 p.m., August 27–December 10, 2020
Spring Session 2021: TBA from 1–1:30 p.m. January 13–April 28, 2021
To Join: Click on the WebEx link (Andrea’s WebEx room). It may ask you to download the WebEx app, which takes a few seconds and is free. Be sure you have access to your computer or smart phone’s audio (video also preferred, but not completely necessary).
A canvas site is now available with resources from each week’s session, so you can better incorporate this work into your daily life.
“I found these session to be very valuable and re-energizing. Not to put too much on it, but I feel these are more valuable now than ever. I would be very interested in these in the future.” — Matt S. Merkel
