The Mindfulness Room is a dedicated space on campus to simply rest, breathe, and relax with no agenda.
No homework allowed; this place is not for meetings or work but to recover and inspire yourself. The space opened in 2014 to offer the permission to rest and to encourage wellness practices throughout the day and evening.
Equipped for relaxation and inspiration.
Step into the lobby and check out the student created mural to transport you into a different time and space, one that promotes rest and relaxation. Stretch on yoga mats, grab a meditation pillow, or enjoy some of our comfortable anti-gravity seating for a quick nap. Or, embrace play by checking out our craft corner to have fun with play-dough, coloring books, puzzles, legos or a gratitude practice. Browse the bookshelf for favorite, inspirational books from professors and faculty. Read scrapbooks filled with stories of love, laughter, failure and more in letters from alumni and upper-class students.
Open 24 Hours. Fall and Spring.
All Carnegie Mellon University community members have access to the Mindfulness Room, located on the Ground Floor of West Wing.
This room primarily serves as a non-programmed space as a invitation to pause "doing" for a while.
We have moved many of our skill-building, relaxation, and reflective programming to the Highmark Center for Health, Wellness and Athletics. From meditation circles to pet therapy to exploratory workshops on a wide variety of wellness topics, check out the Be Well newsletter for a full listing of opportunities.
