We hope you’re enjoying the morning bulletin with the WEP 2022 daily agenda. Below are some highlights of events in the WEP 2022 calendar with a broad community appeal.
Building a Resilient Me: Food, Mind and Body: Yoga Session with Nimisha Rajawat
Thursday January 13 14:00 – 16:00 (Spine Auditorium between 4 and 5)
Friday January 14 17:30-19:30 (IRC)
The workshop will be an interactive session where people will learn:
1) mindful and meditation techniques to use in day-to-day life and to build a more resilient mind
2) the ancient Indian science of food (Ayurveda) and how the system can be personalized for a healthy digestive and immune system, and
3) the practice of yoga to help build resilience in dealing with challenging situations that arise in personal and professional life.
All three of these aspects help to cultivate a resilient individual.
Mangrove Planting Activity
Friday January 14
King Abdullah Monument. 8:00 – 9:00. Registration required
KAUST is home to a vibrant and thriving mangrove forest that spans over 110 hectares. In efforts to make WEP 2022 more sustainable, the HSE Department, in collaboration with the WEP team and Facilities Management team (Horticulture and Pest Control), are undertaking travel-associated carbon emissions offset for the event through mangrove plantation at KAUST Nature Conservation Area. The travel carbon offsets have been calculated using a methodology employed by the International Civil Aviation Organization, a specialized and funding agency of the United Nations.
