We invite you to join certified mindfulness teachers from the WashU Mindfulness Science & Practice group each month on the Fridays listed below for community sessions that include guided mindfulness meditation practice and discussion on practice-related themes. Brief micro practices (“many moments, short times”) will be offered that you can use throughout the day in a moment of challenge or stress throughout the semester.

This opportunity is open to all faculty, staff, students, leaders, and community members interested in developing or sustaining your mindfulness meditation practice – including the curious, past participants, and seasoned practitioners. All are welcome!
