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.

Emergent Improvisation

Light refreshments and snacks will be provided. Inspired by adrienne maree brown’s book Emergent Strategy: Shaping Change, Changing Worlds, this workshop explores the principles of emergence, interdependence, resilience, collaboration and communication through movement in the context of interfaith dialogue. Through improvisational practices, we will learn how small, adaptive changes can connect us across our differences and evolve over time.
