OTHER EVENTS
ALL WEEK LONG: Guided meditation practices, talks, and discussions!
Join Zen Buddhist monks and nuns from Thích Nhất Hạnh’s tradition of engaged Buddhism in guided meditation practices, talks, and discussions throughout the week. While the teachings will have their roots in Zen Buddhism, these are not religious events. The focus will be on learning the practice of mindfulness to feel more peace, calm, and ease in daily life. No matter where you’re from or what faith you follow, you are warmly welcome to attend.
Some events require registration.
NEXT WEEK

With energy policy front and center during the Trump Administration’s first 100 days, join us for a bipartisan conversation with The Honorable Dan Brouillette, 15th United States Secretary of Energy, and Kevin Knobloch, former Chief of Staff for the U.S. Department of Energy, that examines policy priorities for the new administration and congress, key trends shaping the energy landscape, and how these policies and trends will impact energy markets and the industry.
The discussion will be moderated by Professor Charlie Wheelan and students.
