Want to jump start your summer writing? Interested in learning how to be a more effective and engaged writer this summer? Would you benefit from writing and learning alongside others who also are committed to making progress on a scholarly writing project? Each day of this three day scholarly writing retreat includes both hands-on workshops and time to write independently in a comfortable, relaxed space. Learn practical skills about writing habits, make progress on a writing project, and participate in a writing community. Open to faculty in any discipline.

Every Tuesday at 2 p.m., take a moment to relax, recharge, and re-center yourself with Mindful Moment, a group mindfulness program offered by LIVE FOR LIFE. During these quick, 15-minute sessions, you'll learn and practice simple breathing and mindfulness techniques that can reduce stress, increase self-awareness, improve concentration, and promote overall well-being. Drop in and reframe your day with calm and clarity.

Please join Duke Community Affairs (DCA) for a community breakfast celebrating nonprofits and community health partnerships in Durham and throughout the region on Tuesday, April 21, from 7:30 a.m. to 9:00 a.m., at the Community Family Life and Recreation Center at Lyon Park.

The community breakfast is an opportunity to gather, reflect, and look toward the future. The event will feature presentations highlighting health and nonprofit partnerships and activities, including voices from community and campus partners.

Health Assessment is a free, confidential health screening provided through Duke benefits. It includes total cholesterol, blood pressure, blood glucose, BMI, waist circumference height, weight and body mass index measurements. Additionally, there is a goal setting and referral session with a nurse, dietitian, or fitness specialist. Many participants find the coaching session helps them get started making lifestyle changes and connects them to LIVE FOR LIFE and community resources to support them. Health Assessments are available to all active Duke employees.

Make the most of your lunch break with Monday Moves! From 12:30-12:50 PM every Monday, you can participate in online guided stretch breaks with the LIVE FOR LIFE Fitness Team to benefit your mental and physical health!
