Mindfulness Meditation

Each Mindfulness Meditation offering includes instruction and practice of mindfulness meditation and other mind/body techniques to help reduce stress. 

We offer two options to participate in Mindfulness Meditation:

Basic Mindfulness Meditation: An introduction to mindfulness meditation that consists of a weekly, hour-long class taught over four weeks. Each session is limited to twenty students. Attendance at all four weeks is required.

Dates for Autumn Quarter classes will be posted late summer 2023 so please check back soon! 


Advanced Mindfulness Meditation: An “advanced” class for students who have completed the basic course or have previous meditation experience and are looking to learn more and develop a consistent practice. Advanced Mindfulness consists of a weekly, hour-long class taught over four weeks. Attendance at all four weeks is required.

Dates for Autumn Quarter classes will be posted late summer 2023 so please check back soon! 

In an effort to include as many students as possible, we ask that you please register for only one Basic Mindfulness Meditation course per quarter. Contact Carolyn Banner (cbanner@uchicago.edu) with any questions or concerns.
