On March 20th take the Gratitude Challenge. Find a common area in your office space and use sticky notes to share things that you are grateful for. Leave them up for the day or the week and share some gratitude in the workplace. Share your photos on Twitter using the hashtag #WellnessatUofG.

Labyrinth walking is an ancient form of contemplative practice, used in a variety of cultures and faith traditions. The labyrinth invites you to walk a concentric walking path that leads to a central focal point, rich in various symbolic meanings.  There are no tricks in a labyrinth, no dead-ends or choices to make… just space to quiet the mind, check in with your body, and open yourself to the meaning that surrounds you at all times.  Labyrinths are found in places of worship, health-care facilities, and public parks and are a helpful tool in promoting whole person wellbeing.
