Emily Proctor Hosts Silent Retreat

Join us for a morning of silent togetherness, led by Professor Emliy Proctor, at the Scott Center.  This retreat, which will be held in silence, will consist of a series of meditation sits interspersed with breaks for rest or walking meditation.  This simple structure, carried out together, allows for a collective quieting of mind and body, from which can emerge a subtle but deep sense of community.
