Wasting Time?

“My meditation practice was a godsend to me because it allowed me to relax while not feeling like I was frittering away precious time” – Brad Warner, “How to Not Waste Time” (Tricycle, Summer 2012)

Next session, Wednesday, November 5, 12:10-12:40 pm

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

Our November 5 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.
