We cultivate mindfulness, compassion and community on and beyond campus
Mindful USC provides a variety of free in-person and online mindfulness classes, retreats, experiences, and drop-in groups taught by seasoned instructors and student ambassadors that are all free to the Trojan community – students, faculty, staff, and alumni.
Our offerings are designed to create community and promote individual and collective transformation, wisdom and well-being.
What is mindfulness?
Mindfulness is a way of paying attention to the world within and around us with an attitude of openness, curiosity and kindness. Mindfulness and compassion practices are powerful tools that can help us navigate the challenges and joys we face in our personal, academic and professional lives, and can positively impact our health and wellbeing — physically and mentally, individually and collectively.
Through its classes, programs, and events, Mindful USC aims to promote personal growth, well-being, wisdom, compassion, and a sense of connection across USC’s diverse community. These offerings are free and available to USC students, faculty, staff, and alumni.
Our wonderful teachers are the heart of Mindful USC. They are invited to teach based on their depth of personal practice, years of study and training, and embodiment of mindfulness and compassion in everyday life
