Here: Northern Hearts Around the Lake
Gather Together, Focus on Breath, Be Mindful and Notice

Be Here:
Northern Hearts around the Lake is an opportunity for

and the grit of daily living to relax, focus on the
breath, let go of any distractions and perceived
stressful thoughts to eng age
mindfully on the inherent beauty of North Campus and
interconnectedness of all life.
