2024 – 2025 Academic Year Mindfulness Sessions
February 2025 Update: Dear friends, we are currently revisiting the logistics of our mindfulness sessions and will be posting an updated event schedule on this page. In the meantime, we welcome your feedback on days and times that might work best for our Harvard community at: mindfulpublichealth@hsph.harvard.edu
The Thich Nhat Hanh Center for Mindfulness in Public Health welcomes Harvard students, staff, and faculty to come together for an afternoon mindfulness practice throughout the 2024-2025 academic year. We will meet twice monthly on Thursdays from 1 p.m. to 2 p.m. beginning September 5th, 2024.
The drop-in mindfulness sessions include sitting and walking meditations, learning about mindfulness, and practicing mindfulness to enhance our energy of ease and rest. The practice will start at 1 p.m. and aim to end at 2 p.m., however, you are permitted to come and go at any time. These mindfulness sessions are held at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health.

*Please note, at this time, these mindfulness sessions are only available to students, staff, and faculty who hold a Harvard University ID. This schedule is subject to change.
As the Center grows and develops, we will actively engage with the public to share our findings, providing resources to help individuals of every background practice mindfulness in their daily lives, including mindful eating, to protect both their health and the health of the planet.
We invite everyone to join or engage with a local community of mindfulness practitioners, known as a sangha, to benefit from the collective energy of mindfulness, peace, and joy. To find a local group, visit Plum Village’s international sangha directory.
