Since the summer of 2016, the Center for the Advancement of Teaching and Faculty Development has sponsored a regular silent meeting. We meet each week during the regular school year, when classes are in session, in the Meditation Room of St. Katharine Drexel Chapel. Drop in when you can.<br />
<br />
''We've met at various times on various weekdays, eventually settling on Wednesdays at 2PM. For the most accurate and up-to-date information, check the CAT Calendar via our homepage at [https://cat.xula.edu/ cat.xula.edu]''<br />
<br />
'''What to expect?'''<br />
<br />
As the Meditation Room of the Chapel is located directly beneath the bell tower, we are using the bells in our timer. They chime quarterly, so our period of silence begins at the top of the hour and ends at a quarter after (hence the name).<br />
<br />
'''But I've never done this before!'''<br />
<br />
You needn't have any experience with meditating; just stop by and give it a try. There's no commitment and no obligation.<br />
<br />
'''Why bother?'''<br />
<br />
Try it and see. Sitting quietly has numerous well-documented benefits, including stress management, improved emotional balance, increased focus and awareness and increased responsiveness to the needs of others.<br />
<br />
'''All welcome'''<br />
<br />
This is open for everyone in the Xavier community, for people of any faith or no faith.<br />
