Mindful Meditation Thursdays

Service Description

Are your nerves rattling louder than usual? Can’t seem to stop your mind from wandering? Are you reluctant to talk about these things because you’re unsure if anyone will listen without judging you or dismissing your feelings with simplistic statements and platitudes? Members of our meditation groups say that they find peace, presence, and community in our gatherings. And now you can join us in-person or on Zoom (Hybrid). We spend the first 30 minutes of our time together in contemplative sharing and listening prompted by essays from various spiritual writers. We also discuss our approaches to meditation practice. The next 30 minutes are dedicated to silent, sitting meditation, bringing loving-kindness to whatever arises within us (non-judgmental observation). We continue our discussion for 30 minutes after we meditate. All are welcome. A 6-week session begins every 7 weeks. Sign up for Tuesday mornings or Thursday mornings, but if members cannot make it on their chosen day, they are welcome to participate with the other group that week. Meetings are from 10-11:30am Pacific Time. This offering will be hosted simultaneously in person and on Zoom and begins on Tuesday, February 11th and Thursday, February 13th. Cost for the six week series is $60.
