There will NOT be a meditation group at the Women's Center this week; we will resume next week. Sorry for the long hiatus.
Instead of our usual meeting this week, we'll be attending a free meditation workshop in the tradition of Sri Chinmoy, that is going to be at Lesley but in University Hall (there were some flyers up in University Hall). The workshop will be the next 4 weeks, at the same time as our meditation group, 7:30PM. I will only be attending for the first week, but I encourage any of you to attend any of those workshops instead of the usual meditation group, as you'd like.
Free Meditation Classes from Tradition of Sri Chinmoy
University Hall Room 4-040
Tuesdays Oct. 27, Nov. 3, Nov. 10, Nov. 17
7:30PM
I spoke with Begabati Lennihan today, who will be teaching the classes.

Here is a bit about Sri Chinmoy, on the website about these classes:

In addition to teaching meditation, Begabati is a homeopathy practitioner and teacher, and has been renting space here at Lesley for the past few years, and she has taught about homeopathy in Jan Wall's classes.

Welcome to the Lesley Meditation Group!
The Lesley Meditation Group open to all students, faculty and staff at Lesley University in Cambridge, MA. We share, learn and practice a variety of meditative techniques, including using breath, imagery, movement, sound, creativity and compassion.
Meetings will be on Tuesday evenings, 7:30-8:30PM in Women's Center in White Hall on the Main Campus Quad (inside White Hall next to the Dining Hall). If attendance is high, we may be in Stebbins 203.
I am also hoping to start weekly lunchtime group in University Hall.
Each week we begin with stretching, either a body scan or progressive muscle relaxation, and a brief guided meditation to center ourselves in the present moment. Then we focus on the theme and technique for that week.
WE ARE LOOKING FOR WEEKLY LEADERS!
Do you have a practice you'd like to share? Have you heard of a practice you would like to learn more about? Let us know!
SUGGESTIONS FOR MEDITATIONS:
-Using sound (drumming, chanting)
-Compassion
-Mindfulness
-Anything that works for you!
This group is facilitated by a graduate student in the Lesley Counseling Psychology Division who has certification from the Benson-Henry Institute for Mind-Body Medicine to teach basic stress reduction techniques, and by anyone who wishes to participate.
For more information or to be added to the weekly email list, contact Renee at meditate@lesley.edu.
Thank you for your interest! We look forward to seeing you soon!
