What is MIEA course?
Mindfulness Institute for Emerging Adults (MIEA) is an evidence-based program specifically designed with college students in mind that helps reduce stress and anxiety while also increasing one's sleep and self-compassion. Participants will learn skills that help to calm and focus their mind, including breathing exercises, guided imagery, body scan, and more! Students leave the very first session with tools they can use immediately.
