Discovering accepting and embracing one’s sexual or gender identity can be difficult at times. Maybe you are gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgendered or pansexual and are worried about telling others or having others find out… Maybe you are unsure about your sexual or gender identity and would like to discuss it with others who have had similar experience or perhaps you have dealt with and overcome these issues in the past and would be willing to share your own experience with others. For further information please contact Jaime at the Student Counseling Center at (516) 877-3164.

Meditation Group for Anxiety and Stress Management
Mondays, 5:30 p.m. – 6:30 p.m.
Interfaith Chapel
University Center, Room 306
Jeffrey L. Chilton, MA, LMHC

This open, ongoing group will teach students to practice Shamata and Vipassana (one pointed concentration and insight meditation) from the Buddhist tradition that Western health professionals are increasingly recognizing for their unique ability to quell disturbing thoughts and afflictive emotions. Traditionally, concentration is taught to calm the mind while insight is employed to uproot dysfunctional patterns. Students will also be guided toward building a successful meditation practice.
