Description

Peace@UMBC is a weekly meditation hour open to faculty, students, and staff who want to cultivate greater peace in their lives and relationships through the development of a meditation practice. Join us as we sit together and explore our inner experience. No meditation experience is necessary - all are welcome!  
   
We will sit together on Fridays from 1-1:50 p.m. in the Women’s Center (Commons 004). All sessions will begin promptly at 1:00 p.m. so we ask that out of respect for others you please arrive on time. Seating is limited and spaces are provided on a first-come, first-served basis.

The first Friday session of each month is open for all but designated for newcomers to meditation as we will provide instruction in sitting meditation, conscious breathing, and ways to set-up a regular meditation practice. The remaining sessions focus on the following and are led by different facilitators: 
•Meditation Masters:  Guided audio meditations with a master teacher
•Open/Guided:  Facilitators bring their own style and technique
•Advanced/Silent:  Longer silent meditation for deepening the practice
For more information contact Jill Weinknecht Wardell at 5-1442 or Jwardell@umbc.edu.

If you would like to join us, please read the attached document which will provide more information about our group and how it’s structured as well as details about the Meditation Boot Camp program at UMBC, basic information about meditation, and tips on setting up a home practice.

Please feel free to join us this Friday from 1-1:50 p.m. at the Women’s Center (Commons 004).
