MindfuLab is a project dedicated to promoting well-being, awareness, and reflectiveness within the university community.
The laboratory is conceived as an ongoing space for learning, meeting and shared practice in which to cultivate presence, self-awareness, and listening to foster the development of skills useful for facing the challenges of study and work and thus contribute to personal and professional growth.
During the meetings, group activities of a training and experiential nature will be proposed, based on brief mindfulness exercises, defined as the ability to intentionally and non-judgmentally bring attention to the experience of the present moment.
