All students and staff members are invited to participate in mindfulness week.

The Development and Leadership Unit in collaboration with the Counselling and Careers Development Unit are proud to present the ‘#IHeartFest” which is a week long programme focused on Mindfulness and Kindness.

Mindfulness is a way to pay attention to whatever is happening in our lives. Whilst it may not eliminate adversity in our lives, it enables us to respond in a calmer manner that benefits our heart, mind, body and soul. The act of Mindfulness is a scientifically researched approach that essentially helps one improve their quality of life.

It is through this awakening of one’s Self that a week long programme has been designed in order to actively facilitate the process of becoming more aware.

The offering will be a tailored programme that will promote theoretic and practical methods to apply the practice of Mindfulness i.e. Yoga on the Lawns ( 6 September: 13:15), Active Mindfulness ( 6 September: 15:00), How to Understand Mindfulness and Observation ( 7 September: 13:15), Listening and breathing techniques( 7 September: 14:30).
