Lisa Shaw, an English professor at the North Campus, has started the Center for Inner Peace.
Shaw is planning presentations for the fall and spring semesters to give students, faculty and staff a place to release stress and maintain better focus.
The center’s first event on Oct. 15 centered on a talk about awakening the chakras, which is an ancient Hindu and Buddhist practice that focuses on aligning body, mind and spirit.
“If we can train ourselves to be at harmony with ourselves, we will be at harmony with other people,” Shaw said. “It’s a great way to release all of our high stress energy.”
All presentations are free to the public. The next presentation, on Oct. 29, will be on emotional freedom techniques.
