Registration open to Be Mindful, Move Often, Nourish & Grow

All are welcome to Live Happy, Be Well. Eligible employees earn up to 40 points while learning how to meditate, practice drumming, join a walking tour and more. Space is limited for this jam packed schedule with programming for UC by our very own faculty and staff.

Research shows that when we give back to ourselves, we are more able to help others, be creative and with a better mood. Join us 10 a.m.-1 p.m., Wednesday, May 22, at the CARE/Crawley building (medical campus) where Be Well UC has planned a full program of sessions designed to stretch your body and your mind, with the intention of helping you live your best life.

The quarterly event is an opportunity to connect with colleagues while participating in experiential sessions and activities. Three rooms will be set up for 30 minute sessions: Be Mindful, Move Often and Nourish & Grow. Pre-registration is highly recommended via HR EDGE, though walk-ins will be accommodated as room permits.

Sessions are mostly led by UC faculty and staff with a variety of backgrounds and expertise.

• Mindful Meditation Experience with Dr. Jill Gomez, UC Clermont faculty
• Fostering Well-Being and Belonging Through Employee Resource Groups and Inclusive Programming with Dr. Dy’an Marinos, Office of Equity and Inclusion
