Sharing silence is a timeless practice of personal repair & collective transformation.
Each week we’ll be silent together, hear from a UCI community member about their tradition, philosophy, or practices of silence, & then reflect on our collective quiet, leaving more rooted for what’s next.
Tea & snacks provided
