Ground-Ed

  • Yasmin Carter-Morgan

Ground-ed is a student-lead mindfulness movement for stressed students. I love my plants, they bring me so much joy and I found myself using them to be mindful quite a lot, that's where this project stemmed from (no pun intended). Ground-ed pops up in fresher's fayres all over the country and encourages the purchase of one of 5 easy-care, small plants which come with a mindfulness diary and a care-guide. . . The process of having to look after the plant is supposed to work in unison with the mindfulness diary and prompts to look after yourself as you do the plant. If you remove dead leaves, brush your hair. If you water them, have a glass of water. We only grow if we nurture ourselves. . . The diary allows space for mindful thought reflection and also provides tips and contact information for helpful organisations.
