The University of the Virgin Islands Center for Excellence in Developmental Disabilities, a program that works in collaboration with the University of the Virgin Islands, invites the community to the final session of its virtual “Mindful Living Series,” with the theme of this final series being “The Art of Living: Sustainable Practices for Daily Living.”
This free, one-hour wellness seminar takes place Monday, June 1, 2026, from 3 p.m. to 4 p.m. via Zoom. It’s designed for anyone seeking practical, lasting tools to navigate stress, build resilience, and bring more balance into everyday life.
Facilitated by Nisha deJean Charles, LCSW, ACSW, founder of Buoyant Living Psychotherapy, the session will go beyond fleeting relaxation tips. Participants will explore mindfulness practices, nervous system regulation strategies, and sustainable wellness habits that fit into real, busy lives. Whether you’re a caregiver, educator, professional, or someone who feels the weight of daily demands, this session offers a gentle, science-backed path toward greater emotional wellness.
“Wellness isn’t a one-time workshop, it’s a daily practice. This series was built to give our community real, accessible tools that don’t require hours of meditation or a complete life overhaul. Nisha’s session will help participants leave with one or two small shifts they can actually sustain,” said Shamika Thomas, executive director of VIUCEDD.
