Introduction to Mindfulness Meditation
2025-04-19 09:30 - 11:30
Introduction to Mindfulness Meditation Class with IMCBN
Saturday, April 19th, from 9:30am – 11:30am, in the Walker Room
Through step-by-step guidance this class will help you become more familiar with the practice of mindfulness meditation. We will briefly talk about, “What is mindfulness?” & “How do you practice?” Then we will explore the practice by starting with short meditation sessions and gradually building up to longer sessions. After each session we will review and discuss our experiences during practice. This process allows you to better understand what you are doing as you are doing it, building on what you learn each time you practice. The hope is that we all leave this class feeling more confident and capable in our practices of mindfulness meditation.
The Insight Meditation Community of Bloomington-Normal offers this class based on donation. The recommended donation is $25. Any amount will be accepted. No one will be refused.

Spring Into Health
April 27th, 11:30AM, Meet in the Fell Room and then split off into groups
Spring into Health is a joint event ran by a few different clubs from ISU: Pre-Dentistry Club, Pre-Health Society, and Pre-Physician Assistant Club. It is our goal to educate children ages 5-12 years old on what it means to be healthy in respect to our different fields. Although these stations are best suited for the aforementioned age range, anyone is more than welcome to join if they wish to talk to us about exploring career options in our respective fields. We will split participants into groups and rotate between different clubs every 10 minutes. When we are done, we will be having a kickball game outside if the weather permits.
After service, we will be meeting in the fell room to gather everyone up and then split into groups.
Please fill out the following form so we can get a gauge of how many participants there will be: https://forms.gle/cNkwCf9zceuq4XRa6
