Meditation can help you unwind after a long week.

If life's hustle and bustle are getting you down, The Quiet Group on campus is the perfect place to relax and recharge.

“The group is for any student who would like to learn some new skills for coping with the stress and the demands of college life,” said Heather Fredin, an intern in the Counselling and Accessibility Service department. She runs the group with counsellor Melody Robinson. “It is not a ‘sharing group,' simply a skills-based group for practicing relaxation and coping skills.”

The Quiet Group is being offered through Counselling and Accessibility Services. Beginning September 27, meditation sessions will be held in F2010 every Friday from 12 to 12:30 p.m. The sessions run until December 20.

Schedule some peace and quiet into your busy agenda. “It is important to be intentional about managing stress in our lives, so this is an opportunity to do just that,” Fredin said.
