In this workshop, we will use photographs as an “inner mirror” to project your emotions and life circumstances, giving tangible form to feelings that are difficult to express. Through breathing exercises and guided meditation, you will reconnect with your body and become aware of the subtle responses beneath your emotions. This process allows inner experiences to settle, deepen, and resonate, helping you learn to return to the present moment.

The Mass Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) Training, co-organized with the Hong Kong Red Cross, was held on 27 March 2026 at the Pommerenke Student Centre successfully. Enthusiastic participants, including students and staff from CUHK, gathered to learn life-saving skills in an engaging session. 

Under the guidance of certified trainers, participants practiced chest compressions and learned AED usage, gaining vital knowledge and confidence in responding to cardiac emergencies. 

We would like to express our sincere gratitude to the Physical Education Unit, our dedicated trainers, campus health ambassadors, and everyone who participated in this meaningful event. The afternoon was not only educational but also reinforced our community’s commitment to health and safety. 

Together with our CUHK community, the Robert Dan Health Education Centre will continue innovating health-promoting programs to enhance campus wellbeing.

This workshop uses singing bowls, tuning forks, and a variety of sound tools to guide participants in relaxing the body, soothing the nervous system, and restoring inner balance and tranquility.
