“Sit Spots” are a mindfulness practice recommended for example by Venet (2024) and Bitting et al. (2026). The idea is that you select an outdoor location that you can conveniently visit — for example on campus, or close to your home — and that you then visit repeatedly, once or twice per week, for ca 10 minutes each. While you are there, notice what you see, hear, smell, feel, how your body and your mind react.
If you like, you can share your experience with us on this padlet: Post a photo, a text describing your experience or thoughs, a picture and a text, or anything you like. You can be logged in and thus share who you are, or post anonymously. Please remember that the padlet is public, that we are advertising it widely, and that therefore anything you share on there is visible to anyone on the internet, so please use your own judgement with regard to what you post.
We provide columns for every week from now until the end of the year (or longer, if we feel that it is good for us and you), and you are welcome to post about every “sit spot” you do! If you would like a weekly reminder email on Mondays, please let me know and I will email you!
