The Illusion of Failure

“Anyone who enjoys inner peace is no more broken by failure than he is inflated by success.“ – Mathieu Ricard, “A Way of Being” (Tricycle, Summer 2006)

Next session, Wednesday, October 29, 12:10-12:40 pm

Join Reedies and their guests for our once-a-week silent meditation session. All sessions during October 2025 will be held on Wednesdays.

Our October 29 session will be hybrid with in-person and online options.

 

In-person option: Eliot Chapel

 

Online option: Zoom

Whichever option you choose, sit with Alan (Chapel or online), other Reedies, and campus visitors, anytime between 12:10 and 12:40 pm for silent meditation. No need be on time, or stay to the end, or even look at your phone. Bells will be rung every 10 minutes for in-person attendees. So silence your phone, and simply show up and leave as you wish. Advance registration is not required.

Check out Our Schedule to see our full meditation schedule for Oct ’25-Mar ’26. And also check out Our Practice which offers information for participants that is specific to in-person and online participation.
