The EDST Graduate Academic Assistants (GAAs) recently hosted its February Event: a Bracelet Making Workshop. This is as part of the Mindfulness with Mahfida Series, and it was a wonderful success! The event brought together students for a relaxing and creative afternoon focused on well-being and connection.

Participants had the chance to unwind from the demands of academic life while making personalized bracelets and learning simple mindfulness practices. The room buzzed with laughter, conversation, and plenty of creativity as attendees selected beads, crafted their designs, and shared stories.

“It was a great way to take a break, meet new people, and leave with something handmade and meaningful,” said one participant.

We are so grateful to everyone who joined us for this event. See the photos below to catch a glimpse of the fun!
