We often watch but rarely see. We know how to hear but don’t always listen.

Explore the practice of Contemplative Cinema based on the ancient practice of lectio divina or sacred reading which invites interiority and reflection through a process of repetition and reflection. Together, we will watch a short film and be guided into deeper meaning and personal resonance through meditative viewings.

The Salon is a visionary gathering space curated by students, staff, and faculty to explore the intersections of learning and contemplative practices in higher education. All are welcome.

Light refreshments will be shared.
