Mindful USC’s Mindful of Earth program is open to anyone inspired to practice mindfulness in harmony with the natural world. The program features practices that cultivate presence, empathy, and earth-inspired creativity. Sessions include a warm welcome, grounding exercise, guided practice, and some relaxed group reflection. Open to everyone!

Join us this fall for a nourishing series of short, earth-honoring practices that deepen our relationship with the trees around us. All sessions will be held on Tuesdays from 12:30-1:00 pm in the Queen’s Courtyard Tree Grove. Let the trees on our beautiful campus be your teacher this fall.
