A Day of Mindfulness for Legal Professionals: Rest, Recalibrate, and Reconnect

Gullu Singh, JD and Judi Cohen

Open to Everyone

A benefit for Spirit Rock and the Mindfulness in Law Society (MILS)

Program to be held on the land only

Description:
In today’s challenging times, it is critical that legal professionals remain vigilant and ready to act. At the same time, we must also carve out time to rest and reconnect.

This daylong offers legal professionals the opportunity to step away from the urgency of daily life and into the serenity and beauty of Spirit Rock Meditation Center—a 411-acre refuge of oak woodlands tucked away in Marin County, just 30 miles north of San Francisco. We invite you to join colleagues and friends, in community and in silence, allowing your body, mind, heart, and nervous system to rest and recalibrate. Our time together is designed to deepen connections and increase our capacity to meet professional and personal challenges with greater clarity, resilience, and compassion.

This special day will include noble silence, periods of sitting and walking meditation, and plenty of opportunities for conversation and sharing with colleagues and friends. The program will also offer 3 hours of continuing legal education credit. Please be sure to bring comfortable clothing suitable for both indoor and outdoor meditation, as well as an open heart and a willingness to slow down. Lunch will be provided.

This daylong is open to all and especially designed for lawyers, law professors and law students, alternative dispute resolution professionals, and all other legal professionals—whether you’re new to meditation or have an established practice.

All proceeds will benefit Spirit Rock and the Mindfulness in Law Society (MILS), a nonprofit organization dedicated to enhancing the wellbeing of the legal community through mindfulness meditation, yoga, and other contemplative practices. The University of San Francisco School of Law is a co-sponsor of the event. Two California CLE credits will be available (not managed by Spirit Rock).

Come as you are. Leave with renewed clarity, balance, and a deeper sense of belonging in the mindful lawyering community.

This daylong is Day Three of the Mindfulness in Law Society’s 2025 Conference/Retreat. Please join us in San Francisco by separate registration for Days One and Two of the Conference/Retreat by clicking here.

Registration closes at 8:30am (Pacific Time) on Thursday, July 24, 2025. A waiting list will be created if the program fills early.
