Ta’c aluxp, lowtewahs! Good afternoon, friends!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’m writing to give some updates on winter\nquarter offerings from the Student Activities Office of Spirituality &\nMeaning Making. Please share with your students.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

1:1 Spiritual Care Appointments:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A confidential, virtual appointment where\nstudents can explore issues related to belonging, purpose, identity,\ngrief\/loss, joy\/celebration, personal and communal values, religious\/spiritual\ndiscernment, and self-care. It can be a space for students to vent, be present\nto and process their own feelings, or learn practices that assist with\ngrounding & centering. I provide a social and healing justice framework,\nhelp students connect with resources on and off campus, and provide mentorship\nand advocacy when needed. Students can email me directly at:\nbennettm@evergreen.edu to schedule an appointment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Daily Mindfulness Practice:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Every weekday from 12pm to 12:10 pm, students,\nstaff, and faculty can join together for ten minutes of mindfulness practice.\nThis is a time of rest where we practice mindful breathing together as a\ncommunity. You can join at zoom ID:  539 848 1581<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tarot-A-Day & Other Social Media Goodies:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Enjoy a daily tarot reading at the Student\nActivities Instagram page. Posted daily in our Instagram stories, I pull a\ntarot card and offer some insight and practices that might brighten your day.\nWe also post information on student organizations and other happenings on\ncampus. Follow us on Instagram: @studentactivities.evergreen<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Writing as Self-Care:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beginning tomorrow, Wednesday, January 27th, and\nin partnership with Student Wellness Services, we are hosting a weekly hour of\nwriting practice as self-care. This is a virtual space for creative writing,\njournaling, and processing on paper. Prompts are provided and attendees are\nfree to write the worst junk in the universe. Folx will have the opportunity to\nshare their writing with each other. Every Wednesday from 11am -12pm. You can\njoin at Zoom ID: 539 848 1581<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you have questions, please email me at:\nbennettm@evergreen.edu<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you are interested in having me speak to your\nprogram, I am currently reserving space on my calendar for spring\nquarter. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thanks for your interest and support of this\nwork and for sharing with students. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Enjoy the afternoon,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
