Wellness Workshops
Mindfulness is “the practice of purposely focusing your attention on the present moment — and accepting it without judgment.” These group meditation sessions foster a sense of community, a safe place to relax and promote balance and emotional well-being. 

Mindfulness in Togetherness (Meditation) takes place every second and fourth Wednesday of the month via Zoom.

Visit go.fiu.edu/mit to register and save your virtual seat to join any of the recurring Mindfulness in Togetherness workshops hosted by the Office of Employee Assistance (OEA).
