Graduate Students Virtual Wellness Circles

Wednesday, October 7, 2020 @ 3:00 pm - 4:00 pm

In times of crisis, our brains tend to go into full-on fight/flight, which is effective ONLY if we are in immediate and life-threatening danger. Our bodies are not intended to exist in fight/flight states for more than a few hours or our body systems will begin to exhaust and shut down into a numbed out, freeze state. This is unhealthy.

Join Shahnaz Khawaja as she talks about ways to turn off the body’s fight/flight/freeze response, and how to engage in activities that will allow us to remain calm and navigate the current situation from our most effective, creative, and problem-solving brain.

Each week participants will:

  • Engage in different evidence-based activities that help to neutralize stress.
  • Have an opportunity to engage in some virtual social connection with peers.

Fall Graduate Students Wellness Circles will be held on the following dates: (virtually)
