Thank you to everyone who joined us for a cosy evening of movie-watching, snacks, and reflections 🍿🍦

One thing we reflected on after the movie was how easy it is to become so focused on one goal, dream or idea of what life should look like that we miss the ordinary moments happening around us.

Sometimes, we get caught up in the narratives we create for ourselves: what success should look like, where we should be by now, or what needs to happen before life can finally feel meaningful.

Food for thought: What is one thing you have been overly caught -up by, and what is one thing in your everyday life that you have overlooked?​

Thank you as well to everyone who stayed for the discussion and shared your thoughts with us πŸ’š

🌿 What does peace look like when life doesn't slow down?

Between classes, deadlines, responsibilities and everything else competing for our attention, it can be easy to treat rest as something we'll get to later.

This session is an invitation to pause for a while and experience mindfulness together, not as another thing to β€œget right”, but as a chance to notice what’s happening within us and relate to it with a little more gentleness.

As part of the session, we’ll also be heading out to UTown Green for a walking meditation, giving us a chance to slow down, move with awareness and simply notice what’s around us πŸƒ

Come as you are, whether you already have a mindfulness practice or are completely new to it. No special preparation needed, just yourself and some space to slow down for the evening.

🌿 Thank you for joining us today!

Today, we explored both walking and sitting meditation with Bro Ivan, and were reminded that mindfulness can begin with the smallest habits. Whether we’re walking home, studying, eating or simply sitting, we can slow down, notice our breath, our surroundings and our thoughts without getting swept away by them.

Over time, these little mindful moments can add up and help us feel more grounded and present. Meditation doesn’t have to be something separate from daily life, it can be part of how we move through it πŸƒ

Thank you to everyone who came down and practised with us πŸ’š

🌿 Member-Led Meditation Session

Exam season is creeping up, and sometimes the hardest thing to do is give ourselves permission to pause πŸ“š

Join us for an evening of meditation guided by our fellow NUSBS members, where we can find a little stillness amidst the busyness of university life.

A little reminder that taking care of our minds is just as important as preparing for our papers. πŸ’š
