A regular meditation group will be held for faculty/staff, support will be provided to the UNCW student meditation club, and we will also facilitate mindfulness practice in the Mindfulness, Yoga, and Wellness Makerspace in Pelican Hall (after COVID-19 restrictions are lifted).

Student Practice Groups

There are different opportunities for students to practice meditation at UNCW, through Mindful UNCW, student groups, and the Counseling Center:
