Mindfulness Meditation

​Whether you are a longtime meditator or new to the practice, you are welcome to join us. Some instruction will be given. Together, we can practice staying grounded in the present moment by stopping, focusing on our breathing, and observing our thoughts and feelings without getting lost in them. By sitting and walking in this way, we can gain clarity, spaciousness and the ability to stay present to whatever arises without reacting habitually. By continually practicing with the support of community, our commitment to living mindfully is strengthened and our concentration deepens. There will be guided and silent sittings and a period of walking meditation. There will also be time to share (optional) about our practice at the end. It is an opportunity to practice mindful listening and mindful speech. This part of the practice has the effect of strengthening our sense of community and reminding us of our inter-connectedness. Please note the time is 7:30-8:45 pm
