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.

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.
October 14 & 28
3 - 4 PM

Play Break is an emotional-social break for wellness through play. The idea comes from play therapy's effect on individuals with trauma and anxiety. Learning and engaging become an enjoyable experience when you use to play as an intervention. Playing is really just problem-solving satisfyingly for the user. While this isn't structured play therapy, it is a play intervention for stress, anxiety, and trauma.
There will be board games and there will be cards. You can learn a new game or teach us your favorite. Join us for a break, play, and decompression. Maybe even laughter.

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 10/26 or when registration reaches capacity.
