The Relaxation Conversation

Midterms got you down? The College Spaces team knows how overwhelming the semester can get, so this month is all about mindfulness, relaxation, and tips on how to work through some of that college stress. Join us for an evening of meditation and conversations on mindful ways to combat the inevitable stresses that come with the college experience. Bring any stories or tips that have helped you in the past, we want to hear all about it!

College Spaces from Different Places is a peer led student organization which cultivates connections and community for all undergraduate college students. College Spaces from Different Places is a group designed by and for low vision and blind students to have fun, build community, and share in our struggles and accomplishments. Many undergrads are currently missing out on forming social connections on their own college campus. Therefore, joining College Spaces from Different Places will give you an opportunity to come together with others from across the state. Leave your books and syllabi behind and join us!

The days are getting shorter and colder, and we all are eager for the change in season to bring us much needed rain. As we all experience the fall from our own homes, we invite you to join us on zoom for another Sensing the Seasons program as we dive deeper into the water cycle of EHC and how that effects the many Trees and Birds we all love. The series of zoom based meetings will be taking place Friday, November 19th and Saturday, November 20th. In addition to our nature lessons, we will take time to host a audio described virtual camp hike with the sights and sounds of EHC that will likely include some exciting updates on the rebuild of camp.

Our virtual fall themed nature program has been in part organized by legend, Dr Hoby Wedler, who has hosted or been part of many EHC STEM programs for youth in the past. Hoby and some of his naturalist friends will be joining the conversation to help us learn more about the science of EHC and help us all gain a deeper connection to nature. Those LightHouse students that are interested in joining us and that sign-up by Friday, November 12th will get a package in the mail filled with some program supplies and nature artifacts from camp that can help enhance your program experience.
