Well­ness Week is This Week 

 -  -  85


MISHAWAKA- This week, Oct. 17-21, is Bethel’s an­nual Well­ness Week, and it’s packed with events for every­one. Well­ness Week takes place every year to bring aware­ness to men­tal, phys­i­cal, spir­i­tual and emo­tional health.  

On Mon­day, Well­ness Week kicked off with a spe­cial chapel from speaker Jess Lyons, Bethel’s ca­reer de­vel­op­ment pro­gram man­ager. There were also two op­por­tu­ni­ties for stretch­ing and med­i­ta­tion in the Crow’s Nest (in­side Sailor Hall) at 7 p.m. and 8 p.m. 

Other ac­tiv­i­ties planned for the week in­clude splat­ter paint on Tues­day from 7-9 p.m., a spe­cial Lec­tio Div­ina & wor­ship for Wednes­day night Ves­pers at 9 p.m., and smoothie bowls and games Thurs­day evening from 7-9 p.m. The plan is for these ac­tiv­i­ties to take place in the Well­ness Tent, but this may change de­pend­ing on weather. Watch the @bethel_now In­sta­gram page for daily up­dates. 

On Fri­day, Well­ness Week’s of­fi­cial events will con­clude with a prac­tices of re­newal panel dur­ing chapel. For part of this chapel, stu­dents will be en­cour­aged to leave their phones out­side of the au­di­to­rium to en­able bet­ter fo­cus, but this is not re­quired. 

Well­ness Week is a great way for stu­dents to en­cour­age in­for­ma­tion about men­tal, phys­i­cal, spir­i­tual and emo­tional health while also par­tic­i­pat­ing in ac­tiv­i­ties de­signed to re­lieve some of the stres­sors stu­dents may be fac­ing.
