This meditation is deep listening within a communal conversation context. The flow starts with a reading around loss/love, then flow into a 20 minute meditation (silent observation of breath with very subtle ambient sound), then flow into a 20 minute conversation around love and loss (this conversation would be done in darkness/blindfolded), then flow into another 10 minute meditation, and the remaining amount of time would be returning to our sight and being in each others presence, then a closing.  

Both the Beacon Room and The Best Buy Theater provide elevators and wheelchair-accessible seating. To request a disability-related accommodation, please do so below or by contacting the event organizers at winton@umn.edu at least two weeks prior to the event.

This event is made possible with the generous support of The Winton Chair in the Liberal Arts (z.umn.edu/WintonChair & facebook.com/WintonChair). The Winton Chair in the Liberal Arts was established in October 1987 to encourage innovative, distinctive research in the liberal arts that questions established patterns of thought by bringing  diverse, innovative, and engaged scholars, artists, and performers to campus to engage our community in conversation around their work for periods ranging from a few days to a year. Please direct additional inquiries, requests, and comments to the Faculty Committee for the Winton Chair at winton@umn.edu.
