Mindfulness @ UWL
UWL Counseling & Testing, Wellness & Health Advocacy & Rec Sports have teamed up to provide non-credit Intro to Mindfulness courses to the campus community! UWL Intro to Mindfulness courses use curriculum designed by the Mindfulness Institute for Emerging Adults (MIEA) , formally known as Koru Mindfulness.
Mindfulness is simple, but not easy! Our four week Intro to Mindfulness is an introductory class that will teach you the skill of mindfulness. It will also help you build the habit of using it in your life on a regular basis. Positive outcomes include:
- Less self judgment
- Manage stress
- Increased self-compassion
- Better sleep
- Increased calm
Upcoming Non-Credit Courses
| Session | Dates | Times | Location | Registration Deadline | Instructor |
| Summer |
Wednesday, June 11 Wednesday, June 18 Wednesday, June 25 Wednesday, July 2 |
12-1pm | REC Conference Room (160) | Wednesday, June 4 | Jeff Keenan |
Registration
The course is open to UWL students, staff & faculty only. There is no fee to attend, however attendees must register in advance by the deadline.
Expectations
We’ve found that folks get a lot more out of mindfulness if they stick with it from beginning to end, therefore attendance at all course dates is required.
Before the first class and between classes, students are expected to complete assigned readings and log their mindfulness practices in the MIEA App.
Required Reading: FREE ebook available through Murphy Library
MIEA Mindfulness App: FREE subscription with class registration
