MARC is currently undergoing a restructuring process. During this time, our public programs are on hiatus with the exception of our free online and in-person drop-in meditations.  The UCLA Mindful app will also continue to be available. 

We hope you share in the excitement of MARC's hiatus as we explore a number of excellent possibilities for the future.
