Peer Practice Groups

We encourage all students to participate in self-organizing practice groups. Please note that these groups are not faculty-led and are not moderated. There will also be no tech support provided. However, we’ve created some guidance to help you get started: 

1. A Google Doc will be available to registered participants with suggested practice dates and times.

2. Students can sign up to be a group leader, providing their own Zoom meeting link.

3. Students can then sign up for a group by selecting a time and a group leader.

4. If the suggested times don’t work, students are welcome to propose different dates and times and self-organize.

5. Practice instructions will be provided on our learning platform for each module to help guide you.

We highly recommend participating in these practice groups to support your learning journey!

Please consider bringing the following items with you, and anything else that makes you more comfortable or enhances your learning.

• Meditation cushion, backjack, pillow, or yoga mat for sitting
• Blanket or shawl
• Notebook and a variety of markers and colored pens for simple drawing and writing impressions
• Comfortable cloths to move in and layers for meditative times (dress warmly if you get cold easily)
• Print and bring a copy of the handouts for taking notes on each page (handouts will be provided closer to the program date)
