Mid Day Mindfulness has truly been a gift for me. As an international student, I arrived not knowing anyone, and every face was new. I felt overwhelmed not just with studies but also with navigating a whole new culture and environment. I discussed this with Tish, who directed me to these sessions, and they’ve become my best space on campus. Unless I’m engaged officially, I always like to attend.

The Mid Day Mindfulness sessions have been so welcoming and gave me permission to pause amid the day’s chaos and slow down. They’ve helped me feel calmer, steadier, and even notice my breathing and blood flow becoming more regular. After the first few weeks of classes, I often felt overwhelmed, but the regular in-person practice guided by your team has helped quiet my mind and reminded me that everything can wait for a few mindful moments.
