Join us for a mindful run with a focus on being present in the moment without judgment. Runners of all levels are welcome. Dress according to the weather, wear running shoes and bring a water bottle.

Join the Queer and Trans Wellness (QTWELL) conversation, a virtual drop-in group where you can embrace your authentic self, celebrate your individuality, and connect with a 2SLGBTQIA+ counsellor. Whether you’re navigating student life, exploring your identity, or just looking for community - you’re welcome here. Connect, reflect, and be kind to yourself and others!

MSC combines the skills of mindfulness and self-compassion, providing a powerful tool for emotional resilience. Mindfulness is the first step in emotional healing—being able to turn toward and acknowledge our difficult thoughts and feelings (such as inadequacy, sadness, anger, confusion) with a spirit of openness and curiosity. Self-compassion involves responding to these difficult thoughts and feelings with kindness, sympathy and understanding so that we soothe and comfort ourselves when we’re hurting.

Wednesday evening, halfway through the week, when everything's piled up a little. Come sit with us for an hour. Breathe, settle, put the week down for a while and leave a bit lighter than you came.

Join us for a fun dance workshop where a professional dance instructor will break down Michael Jackson's iconic Thriller choreography. Whether you're a dancer, or just here for the vibes, everyone's welcome. Expect music, laughs, and some seriously iconic moves.
