In light of Martin Luther King Jr.’s commitment to nonviolence, Holistic Life Foundation founders Ali Smith, Atman Smith, and Andy Gonzalez discuss how their work teaching contemplative practice in underserved schools in the Baltimore area is reducing disciplinary problems among students. “The Holistic Life Foundation is doing some of the most positively transformative work happening in our country’s inner cities.

Charles P. Scott Center for Spiritual and Religious Life
MLK Day 2018 is an opportunity to reflect on what the legacy of Martin Luther King, Jr., means for our Middlebury community in this challenging historical moment.  King refused to accept racial and economic injustice, oppression, and violence and spent his life fighting for change through community action and nonviolent protest.  In that spirit, we invite students, faculty and staff to join us in reflection and conversation about our commitments and convictions at our MLK Day Community Breakfast.

Love, Grief, and Activism: Mindfulness in Times of Crisis

The Center for Community Engagement, Charles P. Scott Center for Spiritual and Religious Life, Center for Comparative Study of Race & Ethnicity, and Anderson Freeman Resource Center
Join us for Buddhist Dharma teacher Lama Rod Owens’ public lecture. So many of us are grieving and in deep mourning for the suffering that we perceive in the world as well in our own situations. We do not live in a society that is comfortable with our open grieving. Community based grieving is healing and transformative. When we combine community grieving with our deep aspirations to love, then we are able to better transform our grief into wisdom and joy. This is a radical vision of bringing our full selves into the complexity of living.
