MEDITATION IN RECOVERY TOPIC FOR TALK AT SLU

CANTON - The Rev. Saigo Terrance Keenan, an ordained Zen 
Buddhist priest, will give a talk/workshop on "Healing and 
Recovery," about the use of meditation in recovery treatment 
and changing community attitudes towards addiction, on Monday, 
April 22, at 7 p.m. in the Formal Lounge of the E.J. Noble 
University Center at St. Lawrence University. In addition, 
Keenan will give a reading and sign copies of his book, 
St. Nadie in Winter, at St. Lawrence's Brewer Bookstore on 
Tuesday, April 23, at 4 p.m., and also on April 23, he will 
conduct a workshop on meditation in Herring-Cole at 7:30 p.m. 
All events are open to the public, free of charge. No previous 
experience in meditation is necessary.
	A former Buddhist chaplain at Syracuse University, 
Keenan drafted a document that became the center of a sea-change 
in attitudes towards substance abuse there. His recent book, 
St. Nadie in Winter, recounts his own struggles with substance 
abuse and the spiritual path.
	The talk and workshop on healing and recovery will be 
of special interest to those who work with people dealing with 
substance abuse, or those who are struggling with it themselves. 
Anyone interested in meditation, including beginners and 
experienced practitioners, will benefit from the meditation 
workshop.
	For more information, contact Cathy Shrady, associate 
professor of geology, at 315-229-5264.
