Mysterious group seen frozen outside of Rollins

Several adults stood, apparently frozen, outside of Rollins Chapel this afternoon. Upon closer inspection onlookers might have noticed that the individuals were actually moving, albeit extremely slowly. Some members of the group were participating in this strange scene with their eyes closed.

As it turns out, the community members were not performing a stunt or simply enjoying the afternoon sunshine. The exercise was a part of Jon Kabat-Zinn's lecture on mindfulness which took place at Rollins. Kabat-Zinn also spoke at Spaulding Auditorium this Thursday about his work with mindfulness meditation and its impact on health and happiness.
