Get enlightened at an unusual meditation on Friday January 30, 12-1pm in front of Day Hall.* (Note the date change - we've moved this event from Dec. 5 to Jan. 30!) Join a 40-minute sitting-and-walking outdoor meditation led by an accomplished meditator with ceremonial sounds and activism scrolls, alongside an exclusive group of Cornell trustees and corporate administrators.

Join us in meditation against fossil fuels. Because we deserve a fossil-free degree! Imagine. Resolve. Act.

RSVPs are optional but will help us better prepare for your serenity amid climate breakdown. An unusual event co-sponsored by Cornell on Fire, Sunrise Cornell, Cornell YDSA, TIAA-Divest!, and the Cornell Chapter of the AAUP, inspired by Oli Frost and Cornell’s fossil entanglements.

When: Friday, Jan. 30, from 12-1pm

Where: Plaza in front of Day Hall (Cornell campus)

Who: You, us, and an exclusive group of Cornell trustees and corporate administrators. RSVPs are helpful.

How: Dress warmly! Cushions and seats will be provided. Outdoor winter meditation is renowned for its capacity to sharpen thought. Prepare for contagious enlightenment.

Why: Business-as-usual is causing ecocide. Contemplative meditation is necessary to confront society (and Cornell’s corporate bosses) with uncomfortable truths and disrupt the status quo. Our public meditation will call satirical attention to Cornell’s morally reprehensible ties to fossil-fuel funding while publicizing our resolution for dissociation from corrupting fossil-fuel money in research, donations, and retirement funds.
