As you'll already need to be devouring enough books about your studies before long, you can come here and bring a reading book of your own along with you. Sitting in a room and reading together with other people creates calm. Or you can chat with other bookworms like yourself at one of our reading sessions (at 4.30 p.m. or 6 p.m.). Read & Relax is a cultural non-profit organisation with just one major passion: enabling people to discover (or rediscover) how good it feels to read books. So be sure to bring your book along with you!
Breathe in, breathe out. And most of all: empty your mind! During these meditation sessions, you'll focus on nothing else but your breathing.

Tip: don't take too long before signing up. Full means full.
