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.

Drawing on psychological principles and practical strategies, participants will explore how executive functioning impacts academic performance, emotional wellbeing, and daily life. Students will leave with a better understanding of their own strengths and challenges, along with tools to support more effective and balanced functioning.
