Meditation is the foundation of many of the world’s religious pathways and spiritual practices. With roots in ancient eastern philosophy, spirituality, and worldview, meditation remains a profound practical discipline that trains the mind and orients the heart toward the present moment and realities of the human body and breath. In this course, students will join in the study of meditation and the practical exploration of how meditative practice has the potential to transform awareness and attention in our daily being as individuals and in community. The course content and experiences will also present strategies for mindful living specific to our lives at Pomfret School. Students should be prepared to engage in intensive meditation practice for the duration of the course. An emphasis will be placed on inspiring students to establish and integrate a personalized routine practice.

Open sophomores, juniors and seniors.
