'Have you ever felt like a fraud, despite your achievements? Do you secretly worry that others will eventually "find out" you are not as competent as they think? If so, you might be experiencing Impostor Syndrome—a psychological phenomenon shared by many high-achievers, particularly in demanding academic environments. In this seminar, we will demystify Impostor Syndrome and explore its profound connection to our past. We will delve into how our early upbringing, parenting styles, and childhood conditioning inadvertently shaped these deep-rooted habits of self-doubt. More importantly, this session will provide you with evidence-based psychological tools to recognize these triggers in daily life and effectively break the cycle.

Using coffee brewing as a medium for mindfulness practice, this workshop invites participants to consciously engage their five senses—sight, sound, smell, taste, and touch—through a guided sensory coffee experience. As the aroma of freshly brewed coffee unfolds, participants are encouraged to slow down, become present, and cultivate a sense of inner calm. Building on this mindful experience, participants will then combine coffee beans and coffee grounds with art materials to create their own coffee-inspired artwork. This creative process provides a relaxing space to express present emotions and inner perceptions in a reflective and imaginative way.

New semester brings fresh beginnings, but it can also be a time when stress, confusion, and loneliness creep in. Facing academic demands, relationships, choices about the future, and self-expectations, we might find ourselves asking: What truly matters in life? When hit by loss, setback, or uncertainty, how do we continue to live well? Centering on the core theme of "Living Well and Flourishing," this workshop guides students to reflect on their own life experiences through interactive reflection, group sharing, and meaning-of-life exploration. Together, we will discover your inner resources and explore the people, things, beliefs, and values that keep you moving forward. You will learn to find direction amidst uncertainty, cherish the present, and face life’s ups and downs with greater gentleness and resilience.
