Connect Cafe

Why a More Mindful Cafeteria?
The Centre for Mindfulness and the Children’s and Women’s hospital Connect Cafe collaborated to offer two murals as part of the larger overall cafeteria enhancement. These two murals invite us to bring awareness and compassion to our consumption, and to care for our beautiful Earth.

What you'll discover

Caring for our Beautiful Earth mural: Invitations to practice sustainability in how we handle our food waste
The Savouring mural: Six contemplations that invite us to bring presence and compassion to eating and drinking

Location
The Connect Cafe is located in the BC Children's Hospital, Shaughnessy Building, located on the Ground Floor. Closest to Entrance #77, click here for Wayfinding Map.

When you’re eating, try to do only that - notice the colors, shapes and textures of your food, the smell and how each bite tastes in your mouth. This is a good way to practice mindfulness and can help you enjoy your food even more.
