Insight (Mindfulness) Meditation Group
5:00 pm
Chapin Hall, Chapin Chapel
Whether you have meditated for a long time or have never meditated, come join us for this time of practice together. Come to relax, quiet your mind, learn how to experience less suffering and stress, explore Buddhist philosophy and psychology, just talk about what it means to live from compassion and awareness - or because you are curious. This event will be led by Mark Hart, Buddhist Advisor.
Catfish & Desire
Who deserves to be loved?
How do the politics of desirability drive us in our daily lives to present ourselves differently in order to feel worthy of accepting love?
How are perceptions of attractiveness and physical desirability are used to validate and celebrate certain identities while denigrating others?
Join us as we discuss the strong effect of social ideals for attractiveness on our actions while examining some of the wildest episodes of Catfish!
