Emotional wellness is the basis of a happy, productive and well-balanced life. Stress, anxiety, grief, depression and relationship issues can all impact emotional wellness. The right knowledge is crucial to maintaining emotional wellness and managing life, school and work issues. A Healthier U provides comprehensive resources and information to help faculty and professional staff develop the skills needed to achieve overall emotional wellness and a healthy work/life balance.
The Drexel Meditation Group (DMG) meets every second and fourth Thursday from 12:30 p.m. – 1 p.m. on Zoom. Please email meditate@drexel.edu to receive a link to the twice a month guided meditation sessions.
These sessions offer a short meditation followed by discussion, a great opportunity to sit quietly with Drexel colleagues and friends and to learn how to better manage your stress and more deeply engage your work and your life. The DMG offers an opportunity for Drexel professional staff, faculty and students to reduce stress and grow in mindfulness and compassion together.
Please review the Human Resources Events Calendar for information about upcoming special events related to meditation. The DMG will periodically bring in speakers to discuss meditation techniques, workplace wellness, stress management and more. For more information, please contact meditate@drexel.edu.
Participants in our Wellness Incentive Program are eligible to earn five (5) points (a $5 credit) for each session they attend on the second and fourth Thursday of each month.
