Past Programming

U of T Hart House Farm Retreat

We had so much fun at the immersive wellness retreat at UofT Hart House Farm! UTM-affiliated graduate students were invited to spend the day engaging in intentional wellness programming to support self-care practices, community connections, and overall well-being. This was an in-person full-day event. This retreat provided the space for graduate students to come together and enjoy an opportunity to relax, restore, and reset.
