Well-being activities
OITE offerings, including guided meditation programs, journaling groups, and monthly community building activities to support you.
About the activities
Offerings in the OITE are grounded in the science of positive psychology and evidence-based interventions known to increase well-being and resilience. We offer three on-going activities to support you in cultivating your well-being and resilience skills.

Activity types
Guided Meditation
Meditation can give you a sense of calm focus that can benefit your emotional well-being and health. OITE drop-in meditation groups offer NIH trainees and fellows an opportunity to gather virtually for a guided meditation. Each 30-minute session begins with a few minutes of instruction followed by 20-25 minutes of meditation practice. This group is open to both beginners and experienced meditators.
Guided meditations take place online and occur weekly on Wednesdays at 12:00 pm ET.
Sessions are advertised in OITE emails and listed on the upcoming OITE events page.
Community Events
Social well-being adds to a holistic sense of wellness. The OITE offers events that promote community wellness. Past events have included: vision boarding, science improv, yoga, popsicle day, Fellow's Fairs to connect with fellow-led groups at NIH, and much more! Many events take place on many NIH campuses in collaboration with IC training offices. Email us if you have ideas for an up-coming event.
