Description

Did you know that meditation increases brain function, reduces 
the production of stress hormones, increases feelings of well-being, 
lowers blood pressure, and slows the aging process?!

Peace@UMBC is a weekly community meditation hour 
open to faculty, staff, and students who want to de-stress 
and cultivate greater effectiveness and peace in their lives 
and relationships, through the development of a meditation 
practice. Join us as we sit together and explore our inner 
experience. No meditation experience is necessary - all are 
welcome! 
 
The first Friday session of each month is open for all but 
designated for newcomers to meditation as we will provide 
instruction in sitting meditation, conscious breathing, and 
ways to set-up a regular meditation practice. The remaining 
sessions of each month will be focused on sitting 
meditation. We will be exploring a variety of meditation 
techniques lead by different facilitators. 
No registration is required. Seating is limited and spaces are 
provided on a first-come, first-served basis.
All sessions will begin promptly at 1:00 p.m. so we ask that 
out of respect for others you please arrive on time.
