In connection with World Environment Day, the Department of Psychology at MES Asmabi College organized a meaningful event titled “Green Space Mindfulness Therapy” on June 5, 2025, aimed at promoting mental well-being and environmental consciousness among students. The session was led by Mr. Lathif Penath, Head of Psychology Department, who guided the participants through mindfulness-based therapeutic practices in a natural setting. The objective was to create an immersive experience that encouraged participants to reconnect with nature and attain a sense of inner calm and clarity. The mindfulness session was conducted in a green outdoor setting within the campus, providing students with a peaceful and natural environment conducive to relaxation and inner awareness. Through guided breathing exercises, grounding techniques, and focused attention practices, students were encouraged to be fully present in the moment, letting go of stress and distractions. This initiative reflected the growing interest in eco-psychology and green therapy, which emphasize the healing power of nature in reducing anxiety, enhancing mood, and promoting psychological balance. Following the therapy session, a Flash Talk was conducted at Alumni Square at 1:30 PM, where students and faculty members shared their reflections and personal experiences of connecting their minds with nature. The Flash Talk featured insightful contributions from Faculties Mr. Lathif Penath, Ms. Minsila Hilal, and Farhana Nasar K, along with several enthusiastic student participants. The event saw the active participation of all students and faculty members of the Psychology Department. Many students expressed that the session helped them feel more relaxed and emotionally recharged. The nature-based setting allowed them to break free from routine academic stress and reflect on their thoughts in a calm, non-judgmental environment. The programme concluded with a Vote of Thanks delivered by Asbar, a third-year student representative. Asbar appreciated the efforts of the organizers, facilitators, and participants, and highlighted how such meaningful experiences can have a lasting impact on students’ emotional well-being and appreciation of the natural world. The World Environment Day event organized by the Department of Psychology successfully combined environmental awareness with mental health education. By offering students a chance to engage in Green Space Mindfulness Therapy, the programme not only aligned with the global theme of sustainability but also addressed the pressing need for emotional wellness in today’s fast-paced world. Such initiatives continue to strengthen the department's commitment to holistic education, integrating psychological theory with experiential practices that benefit both individuals and the community.
