No prior experience or registration required. Just join when you can. If you’d like to receive weekly web-ex reminders, please send your email and your department name to Andrea (andrea.malouf@slcc.edu) or Heidi (heidi.o’donoghue@slcc.edu). Or just email with questions.

Testimonials from May 2020 Meditative Pause for People in Higher Education

“Thank you Andrea and Heidi once again for organizing these weekly meditative sessions. I am a firm believer in meditation, as I practice it on my own. But these weekly sessions really worked for me because it was a time for reflection as well. What I really liked about these sessions was the fact that each session centered around a theme. For instance Andrea yesterday you focused on “not trying to fix anything,” so while I was meditating I was consciously trying to led go of things that are beyond my control and that helped. When I meditative I don’t generally reflect on anything in particular but your sessions made us all reflect on issues and that helped, at least for me. I would definitely be interested if you continue with these sessions. Thank you once again”

— Aarti Nakra


“I found these session to be very valuable and re-energizing. Not to put too much on it, but I feel these are more valuable now than ever. I would be very interested in these in the future.” — Matt S. Merkel
