Spring Term Intersections – Buddhist Practice

Intersections are an opportunity to explore the spaces where our spiritual lives and work/study/activities intersect.  As part of this ongoing intersection, a Buddhist practice series is available for the spring term. This series will explore a variety of methods including sitting and walking meditation, prostrations, chanting, discussion and study. The explorations are open to all regardless of background.  Participants attend a progression of sessions, each building upon the last session. Because of the progressive nature of the series, participants are expected to attend all sessions.

RSVP is requested. Contact Matty Wegehaupt at x7181 or at matthew.wegehaupt@lawrence.edu.
