Enhance Your Well-Being with Mindful Wednesdays and Thursdays at WPI
In today’s fast-paced world, the importance of self-care and stress management has never been more crucial. Recognizing this need, the Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI) is inviting members of its community to participate in Mindful Wednesdays and Mindful Thursdays, designed to promote mindfulness and emotional well-being. These sessions provide an opportunity for individuals to take a step back from their busy lives, fostering a sense of calm and introspection.
The drop-in meditation sessions are open to all members of the WPI community, regardless of prior experience. They will be led by a certified meditation teacher who will guide participants through structured meditations tailored for both novices and seasoned practitioners. This inclusive approach ensures that everyone can benefit from the session, irrespective of their familiarity with meditation practices.

Mindful Thursdays sessions also aim to cultivate similar benefits and will follow the same format, giving participants flexible options to engage in mindfulness practices during the week.
In addition to the weekly meditation sessions, participants will receive a dedicated email every Friday entitled “Mindfulness Tools To-Go.” This resource will provide valuable insights, featuring meditations, poetry, and other mindful practices shared throughout the week. This initiative not only enhances the meditation experience but also encourages ongoing engagement with mindfulness techniques in everyday life.
For any inquiries or suggestions regarding these sessions, interested individuals are encouraged to reach out to Robin Benoit at rbenoit@wpi.edu.
Incorporating mindfulness into one’s routine can significantly alleviate stress and improve mental clarity.
