Student Life

Student Activities - Meditation Club

Haverford has more than 145 student clubs and organizations, like the Meditation Group. The club aims to provide a calm, inviting place on campus for students to relax and practice a mode of meditation that acknowledges the complexities of the Eastern history of Buddhist techniques alongside more secular and medical Western style.
