A Quarter of Quiet<\/h2>\n

\"Meditation<\/a><\/p>\n

The Center for the Advancement of Teaching and Faculty Development invites you to join us for a regular group meditation. We'll meet each Wednesday afternoon throughout the 2019-2020 academic year, whenever classes are in session. Drop in when you can.<\/p>\n

What to expect?<\/b><\/i><\/p>\n

As the meditation room is located directly beneath the bell tower, we are using the bells in our meditation. They chime quarterly, so our period of silence begins at 12:30 and ends at 12:45.<\/p>\n

But I've never done this before!<\/b><\/i><\/p>\n

You needn't have any experience with meditating; just stop by and give it a try. There's no commitment and no pressure.<\/p>\n

Why meditate?<\/b><\/i><\/p>\n

Meditation has numerous well-documented benefits, including stress management, improved emotional balance, increased focus and awareness and increased responsiveness to student needs.<\/p>\n
