Galaxy “Alex” Stern is the most unlikely member of Yale’s freshman class. Raised in the Los Angeles hinterlands by a hippie mom, Alex dropped out of school early and into a world of shady drug-dealer boyfriends, dead-end jobs, and much, much worse. In fact, by age twenty, she is the sole survivor of a horrific, unsolved multiple homicide. Some might say she’s thrown her life away. But at her hospital bed, Alex is offered a second chance: to attend one of the world’s most prestigious universities on a full ride. What’s the catch, and why her?
Still searching for answers, Alex arrives in New Haven tasked by her mysterious benefactors with monitoring the activities of Yale’s secret societies. Their eight windowless “tombs” are the well-known haunts of the rich and powerful, from high-ranking politicos to Wall Street’s biggest players. But their occult activities are more sinister and more extraordinary than any paranoid imagination might conceive. They tamper with forbidden magic. They raise the dead. And, sometimes, they prey on the living.
Don't miss the highly-anticipated sequel, Hell Bent.

Henry Geist and Vici Duarte are your hosts.

This is an open and free (seats limited) group session with guided meditations, some tips and how-to's, and interactive discussions about experiences, philosophy, Humanism, and anything else that comes up! Some of us may go to lunch afterward.

The Humanist Meditation studio is accessible to all - including people who can't sit cross-legged on the floor. We provide instruction on how to meditate effectively in various positions. COMFORTABLE chairs are available for all participants.

Please register and note that we only have room for about 20 people. Note that this is also being announced on the Humanist Meditation Meetup site so seating may be limited.
