The Columbia Law Mindfulness Program invites you to a half-day virtual retreat on Sunday, March 14 from 11 am - 3 pm EST which will be hosted over zoom.
We will provide an opportunity to both disconnect (from the constant attention-pull of our devices and daily distractions) and reconnect (to stillness, presence, and community) with a half-day of guided meditation practices including periods of silence, gentle movement, and guided group reflection. While taking place over zoom, the retreat will provide the opportunity to move away from our screens and use the platform as a support for our group practice.
This year's retreat will be led by Caroline Voldstad Daniell '18 (bio below)
