Wellness Wednesdays: A meditation to help loneliness
Makenzie Curr ’20, peer wellness educator, offers a meditation for this last week of classes on Save Regina’s Wellness Instagram account.
This meditation was inspired by the “Book of Joy” by Desmund Tutu and the Dalai Lama, and it’s meant to help with feelings of loneliness, which is something a lot of people are feeling right now due to the social distancing we’ve been in for two whole months.

A peer wellness educator (PWE) is a new student leadership position that was added to the Student Leadership Application just this year within Student Affairs. Currently, the program runs out of the Center for Student Development, and Connelly Clifford, office and student wellness coordinator for the center, is supervising the PWEs.
The PWEs assist with increasing awareness around overall wellness and advocating to build a culture of well-being and positive mental health at Salve Regina. Originally, the intent was to develop programs, workshops, activities and other ways to help advocate for wellness on the University campus. Right now, they’re focusing their efforts on their Instagram account to keep Salve Regina students informed during remote learning.
Student Affairs has a wellness page on the Salve Regina website. It links to various offices across campus who have resources or initiatives related to different aspects of wellness. Students will be able to access this site at any time to learn more and gather tools that may be most beneficial to them.
Each Wednesday, SALVEtoday will provide wellness tips to encourage and uplift the University community during this time of remote living and learning. #salvesgotthis #wellnesswednesdays
