NEW: Drop-in sessions in the Zen Zone with DSU Advice, Mandala and your Faith Advisors
The Zen Zone is an on-campus break-away point where you can escape the hustle and bustle of university life. Located in the heart of the ground floor of the Campus Centre, behind The Union, our Advice and Wellbeing team have devised weekly sessions along with Healthy DMU that will take place here to better your wellbeing.
Launching on Monday 4 October, the Zen Zone will host weekly drop-in sessions with The Mandala Project, the De Montfort University (DMU) Faith Advisors, Healthy DMU and the De Montfort Students' Union (DSU) Advice and Wellbeing Team throughout the month. View the sessions available below:
Monday
Speak to your Faith Advisors: Drop-In Session | 2pm - 3pm
Are you happy? Or are you struggling with life, the universe and everything else? Do you need any support with your faith or on your spiritual journey? Whether you have a problem big or small or simply could do with a chat: DMU's Chaplains and Faith Advisors are available for confidential drop in sessions.
Tuesday
Mindfulness Sessions | 9:30am - 10am
Learning to focus on the here and now can help to improve concentration and regular mindful practice can boost our feelings of wellbeing, helping to manage the distractions in our day to day life.
