Student Mental Health - Wellness Lounge


















In our Mindfulness Studio, students can Drift into wellness using our kinetic sandscape sand table that increases relaxation, boosts mood, and enhances focus. This visual meditation coupled with background sounds of smooth white, pink, and brown noise found in sound relaxation therapy, inspires mindfulness. The sand table's soft pulsating lights emulate and encourage deep breathing while the mesmerizing moving sand designs, create calm.
Perfect for when you’re feeling anxious, stressed, or overwhelmed and need to clear your mind. *Click on each of the sand tables to see how it works.
