Mindfulness and Meditation Lunch: Mindful Holidays
This workshop will help you understand the sources of holiday stress, and to become aware of how holiday stress affects you. Using mindfulness meditation practices and intention setting, you will be ready to manage the demands of the holidays, let go of expectations of how holidays "should" be, and set intentions for creating a satisfying season that reflects what you truly want to celebrate.  Facilitated by Shefalika Gandhi, LCSW. A healthy lunch will be served. The event is free.  Sign-ups are strongly encouraged but a number of walk-ins will be allowed.  Sign up with Olivia at omartel@princeton.edu

Thirtysomething
Are you an older graduate student?  Do you find the experience of returning to grad school after working for a while to be positive, but perhaps very different from the experience of your peers who are attending right out of undergrad?  Do you want to meet others like you?   Then join us for a social event for graduate students who are in their 30’s (or older) and returning to grad school after having been in the working world for a while.  A pizza lunch will be served.  Sign-up is required.  Sign up with Olivia at omartel@princeton.edu
