Event Date
Mindfulness is the practice of paying attention by intentionally focusing on the present moment. Let's share 30 minutes of focused energy on creating shapes in the middle of the busy holiday season. Origami can be a great practice to help the mind relax and unwind and, we know you deserve a break!
In this session led by Nancy Wong '05 we will create the units to three different origami modules. You can choose to create just one or follow along for all three in our time together. These shapes are also easy enough the whole family can join in.

How does Origami help us be more mindful? Giving your hands a moment to feel texture and your eyes to take in colorful printed paper will bring you joy through creation. Everyone can learn to do origami and because all you need is a piece of paper it can be practiced anywhere when you want. If you are one of those that needs to stay productive constantly and can't seem to sit still this is the perfect activity for you. Origami can absorb your attention and take you away from stress.
