ENVX Symposium: Active Hope for Apocalyptic Anxiety

A Mindfulness Workshop

Monday, October 17, 6-7pm
Gregg Pavilion

How can we respond to our feelings and act for positive change when we feel overwhelmed by the weight of the world? Join Hilary Martin Himan, Director of Spiritual Life, to learn about a mindfulness practice called Active Hope.

Through reflection and paired sharing, you will come away with a concrete mindfulness tool that will help you face our unraveling world with resilience and courage.
Remembering our Community Member
Our community lost a first year student in a tragic accident on the first day of school. Due to the family's wishes, we have been asked not to share his name nor hold a memorial service or candlelight vigil. Despite being new on campus, this student made an impact on those he met in the days before classes began. We are heart-broken as a community, and we collectively grieve his death. Each member of the Lewis & Clark community matters.

Grief touches grief. If you need to talk about the accident, grief, or desire some spiritual support, please reach out to Hilary Martin Himan, Director of Spiritual Life and Chaplain to all: religious, secular, and spiritual.
