The drop in mindfulness program--Sangha at jmcomicÂþ»­N--is a collaboration brought forth by Mirna Sawyer (Director of the Institute), Dena Herman (Professor in the department of Family and Consumer Sciences) and Nancy Miodrag (Professor in the department of Child & Adolescent Development). Sangha @ jmcomicÂþ»­N began in Fall 2024. The Faculty Development office has been supportive and offered the new FacDev Commons room for our sessions. In Fall 2024 Sangha@ jmcomicÂþ»­N was held Tuesdays 8:30am-9:30am and in Spring 2025 on some Tuesdays at 8:30am. Our facilitators have included alumna Briana Walden (mindfulness and creativity), Steven Wang (UCS), Allison Begley (UCS), and Joo Kim (HSCI department and Klotz Health Center). Mirna has also facilitated MBSR practices and Dena has facilitated relational mindfulness practices with the group.
