In the hectic pace of everyday life it is important and pleasant to consciously build in moments of peace and quiet. In this way body and mind can recover from all efforts. Meditation is one of the ways to do that. It is a conscious training of attention, for which all kinds of techniques exist. In the Meditation Lab, every week low-threshold guided meditations are offered, suitable for beginners and advanced practitioners. The guidance is provided by student counselors who have extensive experience with meditation and / or mindfulness.

Because meeting other students can be challenging in these corona-pandemic times, Utrecht University works together with non-profit organization ‘Eet Mee’ (Eat Together) for video dinners: the best solution for those – both Dutch and internationals - who like to meet other UU-students, have a nice chat and enjoy sharing a meal. Register as a host and organise a video-dinner, choose a date and invite your virtual guests. Or, as a guest, you can respond to an invitation. Of course, you can do both; and you can continue to organise virtual dinner parties.
