The Department of Religion
has announced the schedule for the 2008 Mystic Heart Meditation
Program. The program brings to Chautauqua teachers-in-residence

provide Chautauquans of all backgrounds a group experience of
universal meditation practices.
The Mystic Heart teachers
will offer instruction and guidance in the esoteric teachings
of Christianity, Judaism, Sufi practices of Islam, as well as
Zen Buddhism, Hinduism, Yoga, and Sikhism. Each week's teacher-in-residence

In addition, there will be an afternoon seminar on Tuesdays and
