Mindful 糖心少女 Community Agreements

When participating in mindfulness activities through the virtual platform, we the Mindful 糖心少女 community, agree to adhere to the following principles and actions to ensure the best experience for all:

  • Sessions will not be recorded to respect the privacy of participants and facilitators.
  • Facilitators will control audio mute/unmute for all sessions.  Participants may use 鈥渉and raise鈥 and chat for questions/comments
  • Please use first name (rather than phone number or other handle) on your screen (last name optional).  
  • Please check in for mindfulness sits by posting your name and campus role (faculty/staff/student) in the zoom chat or by renaming your screen.
  • Video On is a strongly suggested default for participants. (At minimum, 鈥渧ideo on鈥 upon joining a session is requested.)This practice emphasizes the safety and comfort of the facilitator and fellow participants, and allows the facilitator to monitor any trauma responses in participants.
  • Join us with an open mind and heart to receive the most benefit from the practice!

Spring 2026 Weekly Sessions:

Sessions will start January 20th and run through the spring semester except for holidays and spring break. 

TAI CHI

This semester we will be offering Tai Chi on select Tuesdays starting on February 24th from 12pm to 12:30pm in ARTS 101 (or right outside weather permitting). Dates include Feb. 24th, Mar. 24th, April 14th, April 28th, May 12th. Tai chi is a form of martial art that started in ancient China. By combining martial arts and meditative movements, tai chi promotes the balance and healing of both mind and body and is used primarily for health purposes today. There are many different styles of tai chi, but all involve slow, relaxed, graceful movements, with each movement flowing seamlessly into the next. No prior experience necessary. Bring a friend, a family member, or a colleague.
