Cultivating Presence | Mindful Student Group | Try Out

À propos de cet événement

~ Cultivating Presence ~
In a world that constantly asks for our attention, it can be difficult to simply be here.

In this series, we explore what it means to cultivate presence — to slow down, come out of our heads, and become more connected to what is happening within and around us.

Through mindfulness, meditation, embodiment, creative exercises, and shared reflection, we’ll practice noticing our thoughts, feelings, sensations, and surroundings without needing to immediately change or fix anything.

What happens when we give ourselves permission to pause?
What becomes possible when we meet ourselves with curiosity instead of judgement?

There is no right way to be mindful, and no experience you need to have beforehand. This is an invitation to explore, experiment, and discover what helps you feel more grounded and connected in your everyday life.

Come as you are. 🌿

This series of the Mindful Student Group will be facilitated by Marije Mulder & Jasper Moek.

At Sedna, we provide a safe and supportive space where you can explore who you are, discover what brings you joy, and learn what supports your well-being. Our wide range of activities, courses, and volunteering opportunities are designed to guide and empower you on your recovery journey.

"Recovery is the process of rebuilding your well-being, stability, and sense of empowerment after facing challenges such as mental health struggles, addiction, or trauma. It involves drawing on your strengths, finding purpose in life, and developing healthy coping strategies."

It’s not limited to addiction or specific challenges. You might be recovering from a fast-paced, hectic lifestyle, burnout, a significant life transition like moving to a new place, the loss of a loved one, a traumatic experience, or simply navigating the ups and downs of life. At Sedna, we’re here to help you reconnect with yourself and find balance.
