The shmita, or sabbatical year, is a year of rest for the land and an economic resetting for society that occurred every seven years in the ancient Jewish calendar. Join us as Grace Oedel, Executive Director of Northeast Organic Farming Association of VT, Danielle Stillman, Rabbi and Associate Chaplain at Middlebury College, and Remi Welbel ‘22, co-founder of Zumwalt Acres Farm discuss the ways that shmita can be applied today and what lessons are available from thinking about cycles of rest for the land and for ourselves.

Join us as we celebrate the vitality of spiritual life at Middlebury with this catered vegetarian dinner.  If the weather is nice, we’ll have lawn games and dining al fresco.  RSVP to Ellen McKay Jewett, emckay@middlebury.edu.

Midd Humanists is a non-theistic, inquiry-based, and action-centered collective of Middlebury students united by humanist principles and practices.

Join us to consider forming a discussion practice that explores, shares, and engages with questions and issues large and small, local and global, with others, and with compassion, reason, humility, grief, and joy.

Come take a relaxing breath as the semester ends at this one-day restorative mindfulness retreat, led by Professor Emily Proctor at the Scott Center. We will learn and practice a variety of mindfulness meditation activities tuned toward relationship, play, nature, and silence, all with the intention of helping the nervous system to settle. No previous experience with mindfulness is necessary; the workshop will be aimed both for those who are new to mindfulness and those who have had practice with it.

We will close the day of Yom Hashosh (Holocaust Remembrance Day) with a ceremony remembering those who were killed in the Holocaust and those who survived—using poetry, music, and personal stories. All are welcome.
