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.
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. Please wear appropriate clothes suitable for a walk out in nature, which may include adequate protection from the sun and closed toe shoes.

Join us at our Journal to Wellness workshops, where UCI students can gather to unwind, contemplate, and foster a sense of well-being through the process of writing and journaling. In our warm and interactive environment, attendees delve into the essential balance of caring for their minds, bodies, and communities. Start a transformative journey towards self-discovery with different journal prompts each week.
Journal to Wellness workshops will be hosted in our conference room here at the Center for Student Wellness & Health Promotion (Student Center G319)
