On November 29th, 2023, Alpha Chi hosted a delightful virtual event centered around hygge-inspired self-care, aimed at providing a rejuvenating break for busy gerontology and nursing students, college staff and faculty.
Understanding the demanding schedules of students, faculty, and professionals in the gerontology field, we encouraged participants to join from the comfort of their cozy spaces with their favorite beverages in hand.
The evening commenced with a guided meditation, fostering a connection to each other and our surroundings. Following this, we opened the floor for enriching discussions, allowing attendees to connect on a deeper level. The event became a platform for the sharing of stories, tips, laughter, tears, and even some delightful fall drink recipes.
We are thrilled to share a snapshot from the event, where a total of 16 individuals participated, each contributing and reflecting on the shared experience.
To add an extra element of excitement, we organized a raffle with five $25 gift cards to Gifts for Good. Winners can use these gift cards to indulge in a self-care item while simultaneously contributing to a worthy cause.
