Often we receive feedback, and it can be daunting to figure out how to decipher it, incorporate it and figure out if we are improving. We will talk about common feedback you may have received from your 4-week or upcoming 8-week comments, and how to use the feedback in your current (or future) classes to grow as a student and scholar at Reed.

Black at Reed is a mental health, support, and well-being Workshop and Forum for Black and African students. Last semester, we did "What It Means To Be Black." This semester, we are Back and Black at Reed, a forum for students who are a part of the Black and African diaspora. This semester we reclaim our space; we take up space and are unapologetic. Come meet new friends and reconnect with old ones. Let us get through this rigorous school year together.

This workshop combines reflection, art, discussion, and skill-building. We will explore our body narratives and cultivate awareness, empowerment, connection, and community.
We will work to create a space that centers fat, disabled, BIPOC, queer and trans students, with a focus on body liberation.
This is not clinical therapy, and not intended to replace clinical therapy or treatment, but a space to explore, connect, and empower.
Please plan to attend all four sessions of the series. Pre-registration is required for participation. Registration closes on 10/25 or when registration reaches capacity.

We will offer nature-based mindfulness experiences that can be modified depending on attendee preferences and accessibility needs. These practices will either be stationary or mindful walking experiences. The focus will be to strengthen your relationship with the land and nature and to transition from “thinking” to “sensing” and from “doing” to “being,” which will help facilitate nonjudgmental, present-moment focus, connection, self-reflection, and centering. We meet weekly on Fridays.
