Monthly Contemplative Practice: Breathing With Trees

Each month, the Chaplaincy invites members of the campus community to a different contemplative practice, a way to pause mid-day and connect with a sense of something bigger than yourself.  This month Dave Wright will lead a short time centering the story of the Japanese Cherry Trees alongside a guided breathing exercise.  Gather on the sidewalk between the Sequoia and the Cherry Trees at 12:15; we'll wrap up by 12:45.  This will involve walking on (hopefully dry) grass, so be mindful (ha!) of your footwear.
