Why silence? Because…

even ten minutes intentionally quiet can affect the rest of the day;
a contemplative practice prepares you for future challenges;
your plate of ‘to-dos’ can likely wait ten minutes.

Why 2:50 PM?

@2:50 is midday to notice the vitality a mindful or resting practice can bring to our lives. Is silence as essential as clean water, nourishing food, and trips to the bathroom? Evidence suggests that it is.

How do I participate?

A short introduction is offered at 2:48 each day. You might,

observe your breathing and let it go in and out by itself or;
notice sensations in your body with your mind’s eye or;
visualize a relaxing scene or something you are grateful for.

What if I can’t join @2:50 pm?

You’re welcome to join @250 any time. Our global objective is to encourage ten minutes of quiet in whatever form or time works best for you. If you can’t make 2:50 pm, use our mindful resources at your pleasure.

Participants say

“I set my alarm for this every day. Even if I’m out on a walk, I try to join.” –P.

“For me, having everyone show up at the same time every day makes a difference in my life.” –M.

“Sometimes I just use this as a time to clean up my desk.” –H.

“I’ve seen my blood pressure drop like 20 points after @2:50.” –S.

People join @2:50 in many ways. Some walk or sit outside. Others use the time to sketch or journal. Some practice their own mindfulness or meditations, or get in a quick nap! It’s less about what we do and more about our repeating and doing it together.
