During this time of uncertainty and isolation, find solace in digital opportunities to connect, share, and engage. Each week, we will share upcoming events that bring the UW, and the greater community, together online.
Many of these online opportunities are streamed through Zoom. All UW faculty, staff, and students have access to Zoom Pro via UW-IT.
Drop-in Session: Mindfulness of Sounds

This session, hosted by the Center for Child and Family Well-Being and led by Robyn Long (MA, E-RYT) will offer practices to support you in settling the mind. We will share a brief yoga practice and guided meditation, Mindfulness of Sounds. This practice can illuminate our mind’s patterns and provide insight into ways we can strengthen our awareness. We will end with a brief discussion on ways you can use these practices to find brief moments of calm in your day.
