In this 6-week virtual mindfulness course for Williams students we will explore themes such as focus, impermanence, compassion, equanimity and delight
In this workshop series, we will:
- Heighten your ability to be steady and focused (e.g. during tests, athletic competitions, interviews, and internships)
- Be more centered when balancing competing priorities in making decisions (e.g. do I take a semester off or return to Williams?)
- Bring more ease and compassion to your relationships
- Gather virtually in a small Williams community—that we co-create
Zoom sessions will touch upon different aspects of mindfulness:
- Breath & Body
- Loving Kindness
- Compassion
- Delight
- Steadiness / Equanimity
- Impermanence and / or Elements
Dates:
- Feb 2, 9, 16, (skip Feb 23)
- March 2, 9, 16
- Come for all of the sessions—they will build on each other. If you need to miss a couple that’s just life.

Reference
From a recent workshop with MIT Solve: “Thank you for the workshop—it was amazing. What you shared is really useful for me right now. It’s important that other entrepreneurs have these kinds of experiences. We are always connected with work, with leading, with goals. The problems that we’re trying to fix with our entrepreneurship are mainly problems of disconnection. So, if we are not connected with ourselves… and managing ourselves… in the end we are not really solving anything”
