The History of Buddhist Mindfulness
Mindfulness is everywhere: books, therapies, apps, and corporate trainings present it as an effective way to cope with the stresses of everyday life, or with more serious traumas. In this talk, Megan Bryson, Associate Professor of Religious Studies at UTK, gives an overview of how Buddhist meditation practices gradually transformed into the secularized and medicalized forms of mindfulness we frequently encounter today. We will discuss what is at stake in thinking about mindfulness as secular or religious, including mindfulness practices in other religious traditions as well as court cases centering on the perceived religiosity of mindfulness.
We invite all to the 11:00 am in-person Eucharist with music & choir.

TVA's Cemetery Relocation Program
Cemeteries have been a part of human history for centuries. Some are abandoned and fall into disrepair unless someone steps up to care for them.

Join Pat Ezell, Senior Historian at TVA, as she teaches us about the TVA's cemetery relocation project. The TVA had to move thousands of graves - what was the process? How did they do it? Come join us for this bit of East Tennessee history!
