Unite in harmony to balance the body\, mind\, heart and spirit through meditation and prayer. Connect to yourself with a purpose\, and create what you individually need to achieve wholeness within. Allow this state of wholeness to be an opportunity for self-healing and the healing of others. \nAs the healing light enters into ourselves\, we are able to graciously channel it in a way that brings healing to all things across the Earth. \nWhat to expect from this mediation circle? \n1. Peaceful Community Building: Build a community that serves to bring peace and healing to all of humanity through meditation and prayer.\n2. Anxiety & Stress Relief: Learn and practice a variety of meditation techniques that help to reduce stress and promote relaxation.\n3. Meditation Myth-Busters: Debunk common misconceptions regarding the practice of meditation\, and break through conditional barriers to enhance meditation practice.\n4. Nurturing Growth: Create an environment that inspires personal and spiritual healing and development. \nIt is recommended that attendees come with personal-related\, community-related\, or global-related things that they would like to send healing and peace to. \nThis group understands that everyone is at different stages along his/her personal and spiritual growth and healing processes. As such\, participants are reminded to help create a peaceful and accepting environment that nurtures all people and the many stages of growth\, learning\, and healing.  \nEmbody compassion\, love\, kindness\, non-judgement\, respect\, and patience\, with yourself and others. \nThis virtual event is hosted by Natalie Nevola\, undergraduate student and Reiki Practitioner. \nJoin Zoom Meeting for Meditation Circle for World Peace and Healing at \nTopic: Meditation Circle\nTime: This is a recurring meeting on the third Saturday of every month @ 7:00 PM EST – 7:30 PM EST until December 17th\, 2022. \nJoin Zoom Meeting \nhttps://us05web.zoom.us/j/4819668061?pwd=UExEUlNnS3F1WlVwdExFemhCdERQZz09 \nMeeting ID: 481 966 8061\nPasscode: 6j3gkx \nOpen to WCSU students\, faculty\, staff and their families and friends. \nContact Information \nEmail: natalierose144@gmail.com\, or nevola002@wcsu.edu \n  URL:https://www.wcsu.edu/events/calendar/community-meditation/2022-03-19/ LOCATION:Virtual CATEGORIES:Virtual event,Wellness ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://www.wcsu.edu/events/wp-content/uploads/sites/181/2021/10/meditation-circle-3-22.png ORGANIZER;CN="Natalie Nevola":MAILTO:nevola002@wcsu.edu END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20220316 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20220317 DTSTAMP:20260413T030822 CREATED:20220126T215055Z LAST-MODIFIED:20220126T215055Z UID:10061691-1647388800-1647475199@www.wcsu.edu SUMMARY:State Mandated Diversity Training DESCRIPTION:STATE MANDATED DIVERSITY TRAINING: Sponsored by the CSCU Office of Equal Opportunity and the WCSU Office(s) Diversity an Equity and Human Resources Department. \nDescription: The CSCC/CSCU is in the process of achieving compliance with this training requirement.
