No matter your background or experience, come meet the staff of the Scott Center for Spiritual and Religious Life (and some of our affiliates!) to explore ways to be intentional about mindfulness practices and meet other students who are interested, too. What is mindfulness and how is it different from meditation? What opportunities and resources exist across the college? How might you begin or maintain a practice that helps with life at school? 

Come meet the staff of the Scott Center for Spiritual and Religious life for tea, snacks, and an informal discussion of spiritual life at Middlebury. Learn about existing programs and resources ranging from student orgs to the interfaith house, to how we support all students whether religious or not. You are welcome!
