The Students Association for Interfaith Cooperation at the University of Rochester is hosting an interfaith mindfulness event in the sanctuary of the Interfaith Chapel on February 6, from 11:30-12:30. Representatives from Christian, Jewish, Muslim, Hindu and Buddhist traditions will be present at different "stations" to demonstrate mindfulness practices arising out of their tradition. A vegetarian brunch will also be served to allow students the opportunity for discussion and reflection after they have visited the mindfulness "buffet." There will be a labyrinth available for walking meditation, Taize style practices, contemplative prayer, mindfulness meditation in the Buddhist tradition, Hindu meditation exercises, a demonstration of Muslim prayer postures and discussion of how that form of body prayer is a mindfulness practice and a discussion of Jewish dietary observances as a form of mindful eating.
