Well-Being

Mason Recreation- Well-Being invites you to take this moment to reflect and build a deeper understanding of your well-being, defined as “an optimal and dynamic state that allows people to achieve their full potential” (NIRSA, 2020). We strive to foster this growth both individually and within our community through hands-on workshops on practical well-being, such as changing a flat tire, cooking demonstrations, and learning to use power tools, as well as social programs like Fun Fridays. We also offer tailored workshops, educational sessions, and collaborative programming designed to support your well-being so that you can live just as you breathe.
