Your health matters. Join us for supportive programming geared toward Artist Wellbeing.

Your overall wellbeing greatly influences your ability to implement creative and artistic processes. Through our Artist Wellbeing series, we support your social, intellectual, emotional, spiritual, financial, physical, and environmental wellbeing. Join us throughout the year!

The CFA Dean’s Office collaborates with the Schools within CFA, as well as community partners at BU, to bring programming to support your overall health and wellbeing. When you feel better, you are more creative, focused, and productive. Our goal is to take care of you, so you can create your art.

Dimensions of Wellbeing

 

According to BU’s Student Wellbeing office, wellbeing is an “active, lifelong process of learning what makes you feel balanced and well in all areas of your life. It’s educating yourself about the ways in which you can access resources that contribute to your overall satisfaction, regardless of ups and downs. It’s about how you feel.”

Your CFA Student Services team is committed to helping you find a sense of that balance, and to give you the resources to keep that balance as your needs and lifestyles may shift.

For more detailed information on each area of wellness, see Student Wellbeing.

Healthy Sleeping: DIY Pillow Mist

As the Fall semester midterms approached, CFA members took time for self-care by crafting personalized pillow mists with calming essential oils. They also learned valuable tips for achieving restful sleep, ensuring they could bring their best selves to each day.

Healthy Environment: DIY Terrariums

At the March Stress Reliever Event, CFA-ers practiced mindfulness by filling their own glass terrariums and terracotta pots with an array of different succulents. Bringing home a piece of nature was just what we needed to breathe new life into our spaces!

What an amazing way to celebrate all of our hard work this year!
