Namasté is a student club, recognized by ASWC, with the mission of
bringing together members of the Whitman community who have an interest
in meditation and bringing more mindfulness to daily life. The club
seeks to provide opportunities to learn about different meditation
traditions and to support people who would like to maintain a
meditation practice. There are no specific religious traditions
emphasized or endorsed: anyone who is interested in meditation and
mindfulness, whether from a secular or spiritual orientation, is
welcome to attend club events.
The group meets for meditation every Tuesday and Wednesday from 8 -
8:30 pm in the Spirituality Room in Prentiss Basement. Beginners are
welcome and basic instruction on meditation is available on these
evenings. Other events are also being planned for the 2009-10 academic
year.
