Join Kate Nicholson, certified yoga teacher and Assistant Director of Student Wellness, for a 45-minute yoga practice perfect for people who just never got into yoga, thought yoga wasn't for them or are new to the practice for any other reason. In yoga, we are asked to embrace the concept of a 'beginner's mind' to help accept ourselves and this moment as they are and remain spacious to possibilities. See, you're already "good" at yoga! We will practice a short meditation, simple and sweet sequence of movements for grounding that you can then use in your dorm yoga throughout the week and finish with a chance to chat and connect with each other. Password for zoom call: YOGA

Would you like to sign out one of our yoga mats for the semester to use in your dorm or for hopeful outdoor classes? Contact Kate Nicholson in Counseling & Wellness to arrange for a mat: knichols@bowdoin.edu

Meditation Group for Students of Color

Friday, September 11
4:00pm - 5:00pm

Self-Care and Community-Care in the Age of BLM and Anti-Racism: As our nation and the world are grappling with the traumatic effects of systemic racism and police brutality that persist to this day, we at Counseling Service would like to help foster a space of safety, awareness, community, and healing. This is an opportunity to share our personal, social, political, and/or spiritual experiences together, supported by the teachings and practice of mindfulness meditation and compassion/loving-kindness. Our plan is to offer this as a regular, ongoing virtual (and perhaps in-person) space during the academic year. No previous experience is necessary, all those who identify as Black, Indigenous, or People of Color are warmly welcome to join. Hosted by Shelley Roseboro and Roland Mendiola of Counseling and Wellness.
