Silent Meditation & Tea

All are welcome! All meditation supplies are provided. If you have a favorite cushion to sit on, please bring it. Beginners will be given basic instruction in meditation. Everyone is encouraged to join for the entire meditation period if your schedule allows. You can also join at 5:30 for the first period and depart at the 6:10 during walking meditation/bathroom break. Or, you can arrive at 6:10 and join the walking meditation and stay for the second period.

We meet in-person in the Hogg Hall Interfaith Chapel.
