Wednesday Wellness Walks are a bi-weekly walking excursion to local points of interest near UCI. We’ll visit various parks and nature preserves that are right here in our backyard, all while incorporating mindfulness and ecological education! The walks are open to all students, faculty, and staff. Go at your own pace and feel free to leave at any time if you have mobility limitations or other obligations.
We meet at 11:30am in front of the Zot N’ Go and then embark on our journey. If there are any questions, please contact Doug Everhart at everhart@uci.edu.

Please visit the CSWHP, Planned Parenthood, and the LGBTRC on Ring Road across from the Hill and Starbucks to learn about the importance of World AIDS Day and why we celebrate it every year. It is a day of remembrance for those we lost to AIDS and a celebration for those who survived. It is also important to remind folx to please get tested for HIV and other STI’s, wear condoms and other protective barriers, and reduce the stigma around STI’s, testing, and treatment. Come grab some condoms, red ribbon pins, and resources and play a couple games.

Join us every Monday for Mindful Mondays!
Every Monday will be a different mindfulness practice such as meditation, mindful movement, loving-kindness meditation, and many more. Mindfulness has been scientifically proven to help us cope with life’s stressors. Some of the benefits include anxiety reduction, enhanced sleep, improved mood, and increased ability to focus.
No previous experience necessary and great for beginners. Participants will receive an essential oil roller to carry their mindfulness practice with them wherever they are.
