Calendar of Events

Come learn why everyone deserves a healthy relationship with the Peer Advocates. Find us tabling in Val and Keefe this week.

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, or just talk about what it means to live from compassion and awareness or because you are curious. The group will be led by Buddhist Advisor Mark Hart.

Friendly conversations and presentations on ethics, metaphysics, epistemology and other philosophical subjects.

This will be Active Minds last meeting for this semester. We will be discussing future events that we would like to do in the spring, including planning for the mental health exhibit in Keefe featuring members of the Amherst community. We would love for anyone to join if you have ideas or would just like to sit and see what comes up. Don't worry if you haven’t been to a meeting before; it’s never too late to get involved!
