The goal of this event is to give students a refreshing start to their week by blending mindfulness practices with a lighthearted theme, cupcakes. Just as cupcakes are a sweet treat that brings comfort and joy, this event is designed to provide students with "mental sweetness" in the form of clarity, balance, and self-awareness. We are encouraging students to indulge in self-care and mental wellness without guilt, just like savoring a cupcake.
