Guided meditation, 11 a.m. Weyerhaeuser Chapel, with the Center for Religious and Spiritual Life – in-person, on campus, and virtually via Zoom (register for the meditation Zoom). Meditation practices teach us to live more fully in our bodies, go through the day with more ease and mental clarity and begin to open our hearts to the beauty and connectedness that constantly supports us. Join Macalester Buddhist Chaplain, Rev. Marc Anderson, for this Sunday morning meditation.
