The Center for the Education of Women+ (CEW+) at the University of Michigan invites participants to join its CEW+Inspire Midweek Mindfulness Guided Sit every Wednesday from 12:15 to 12:45 p.m. This virtual community of practice is open to all, whether new to mindfulness or seeking to deepen an existing practice. Registration is simple—sign up once to receive ongoing access to weekly Zoom sessions.

Each 30-minute session blends instruction, support and guided meditation, with time reserved for self-directed mindfulness. Participants are encouraged to attend weekly or drop in when schedules allow. The sessions explore key mindfulness qualities such as present-moment awareness, non-judgment, body sensation awareness and self-compassion.

Mindfulness is not an inherent trait, but a skill that can be nurtured over time. Through regular practice, individuals can build resilience, enhance coping strategies and foster compassion and greater perspective in daily life. CEW+’s supportive environment creates a welcoming space for exploration and growth, lifting up women and underserved communities across the University of Michigan and beyond.

Location: 330 E. Liberty St., Ann Arbor. For more information or to register, call 734-764-6360 or visit Cew.UMich.Edu.
