BREATHING SPACE space to breath space to meditate space in-between time in-between

Place of gathering and retreat, retreat from others and from the stresses of student life.

A space that is flexible and unassuming, programmatically vague and accommodating — to study, eat, meditate.

To disconnect. To be in reality is to connect with the essential, the natural world and its rhythm and complexity.
