SUMMARY:Awakening Through Zen Yoga: Special Sessions with Venerable Ingoong
DESCRIPTION:This Zen Meditation and Mindfulness Workshop is a unique opportunity for participants to delve into Zen practices rooted in Buddhism\, with a strong emphasis on inclusivity for all\, regardless of religious background. The sessions will not only focus on the benefits of meditation and mindfulness for mental health and well-being\, but also provide a non-religious space for reflection and relaxation. This is particularly beneficial for graduate students at Rutgers\, as it equips them with tools to manage stress\, foster self-awareness\, and build interpersonal connections through a shared mindful experience. Moreover\, it offers a deeper understanding of the cultural heritage of East Asian practices. \nYoga mats will be provided! \nA second opportunity to participate in this workshop will be offered on 4/18\, at the same time and location. \nLocation:  School of Communication and Information (SCI) building\, Room 222
