This week’s feature space in Silliman: The Sandbox!

The Sandbox is a tech-free space in Silliman’s Good Life Center where students who wish to disconnect can meditate and use the sand garden. Upon entry, students are encouraged to take their shoes off and to put their devices away. Feel free to lounge in any of the chairs and catch a nap with one of our eye masks. Don’t hesitate to take a break and ground yourself in the moment.

Hello, hello! We’re continuing to feature Good Life Center spaces here on campus. This time, we’re in Silliman College.

Today’s feature: the Lounge (but make it Silliman) 😌

Located close to the Acorn, the Lounge is a space for students to unwind and slow down. There’s free tea for students to savor, throw blankets, and comfortable seating to lounge in. We encourage all students to come on up to the fourth floor, take a moment, and ground yourself in the Silliman Lounge. 🦎💚

More features coming soon!

We just opened a new Good Life Center at the Yale Divinity School! We are so excited to have this new space for Yale’s graduate students. And we know that Sammy the Sloth feels the same. 💚

We’re going to keep featuring spaces throughout this upcoming week in Silliman (with some special guests). 🤩 Stay tuned, and thank you to those who commented on the giveaway posts!

We have our last featured space in the Schwarzman Good Life Center: 💜 the Nap Room 💜

This space is specifically designed and decorated with the intent to create an atmosphere of peace for those who need to briefly rest in the middle of the day. Getting a nap that is at least 30 minutes to 1.5 hours can help you catch some extra Z’s, which can increase productivity and boost your mood. The Nap Room is tech-free, so please leave your phones and laptops in your backpack and respect your fellow students as they rest. 😴

Next up, we are going to be featuring spaces in Silliman, with a couple of special guests. Stay tuned!

Today’s feature space: ✨the Offline Oasis✨

The Offline Oasis is the place where everyone is encouraged to turn off the screen and to be present with what’s right in front of them. Research shows that reducing screen time throughout the day can improve one’s health and overall well-being. And we have the perfect activities to unwind: we have coloring books, stationary for thank you notes, and we just added a new shelf filled with YA books! Please feel free to come unplug with us.

🌿Today’s other featured space: the Green Room!

Designed to be a natural, tech-friendly space, the Green Room is filled with plants, providing a little burst of nature when you need it. Research shows that spending time near plants and the natural world can improve well-being in numerous ways, from boosting creativity, sparking inspiration, and reducing stress.

🍵 We also have free tea and hot chocolate for everyone in the Green Room. Grab a Good Life Center cup to go, or sip it by the window while taking a moment for yourself.

Hello, everyone! We’re starting off this first month of school with features of our spaces in the Good Life Center at Schwarzman and Silliman. Today’s first feature: the ✨🍃Lounge 🍃✨

Once you step into the Good Life Center at the Yale Schwarzman Center, one of the first spaces you’ll encounter is the Lounge. The Lounge is where Good Life Center events like Take it Easy Tuesday, Wellness Wednesday, and all kinds of workshops around wellness usually take place.

When it’s not used as an event space, it is a place where students can socialize, read books on wellness and mindfulness, color, paint with watercolors, fold origami, and even play the ukulele (we got two). Creativity and mindfulness go hand-in-hand here, and we hope that you get to take full advantage of everything that the Good Life Center hosts in this space.

Tune in for more features of some of our newly renovated spaces (and for exciting announcements coming soon)!
