Buddhist & Meditation Initiatives

Davidson offers a range of opportunities for students, faculty, and staff who identify as Buddhist or wish to explore Buddhist teachings and practices.  Buddhist Programs offers a 4-day Buddhist meditation retreat each year during Spring Break.  We also host on-campus Dharma talks and lectures about Buddhism by visiting speakers.

The Davidson Meditation Initiative offers our community opportunities to learn about and practice mindfulness and other forms of meditation. We seek to integrate these practices into our daily lives to promote inner peace, clarity of mind, insight, compassion, and kindness. Davidson Meditation Initiative leads meditation sessions for students, staff, and faculty across the campus community throughout the academic year, in addition to the weekly mindfulness meditation held in the Oasis.  Davidson Meditation Initiative programs are open to students, staff, and faculty of any secular, spiritual, or religious background. No previous experience required; beginners are always welcome.
