Workshop for Well-being at MSU
Apr

Workshop for Well-being at MSU

The MSU Graduate School and Compassion Project are offering three, 2-hour workshops to support graduate student well-being through art, mindfulness, and community-building. Attend one session or multiple.

Workshops are led by trained Compassion Project volunteers that are also in the Graduate Mental Health Counseling Program. As fellow students juggling work, school, families, and their broader lives, they understand the challenges graduate students face and are excited to connect with their fellow Bobcats.

Compassion is a skill and practice that increases resilience, boosts well-being, helps us navigate conflict, and strengthens relationships. Guests can expect to be led in a group mindfulness practice, creative art activity, and small-group discussion.

We hope guests take away strategies for filling their compassion bucket, connection with others in similar circumstances, and a deepened commitment to resourcing themselves and others in sustainable ways to enact long-term positive change. All graduate students are welcome - we hope you join us! 

Sign up here.

  1. Why compassion is important

  2. Overcoming barriers to compassion

  3. Making compassion relevant to your work and daily life

  4. Incorporating mindfulness

  5. Leading accessible art activities for the therapeutic benefits

  6. Sparking compassionate reflection and storytelling

Attendees are welcome to volunteer with our organization or take what they learned back to their workplace, school, community, or organization.
