“Flitting about the shadeless grass fields of summer searching for dewdrops - a butterfly”
Midday Meditation
Every Friday at 12:30pm Pacific / 2:30pm Central on Zoom
The purpose of this group is meditation, appropriate for those who have been sitting for years and those who have never meditated. The form is Zen, meaning that we will take off our shoes, bow, enter slow walking meditation around the room, and when the bell rings, bow to our cushions, and sit (cushion or chair). If this appeals to you, and you can take an hour in the middle of the day, this group is for you. After 10 minutes walking meditation and 30 minutes sitting, there will be 20 minutes of discussion. It’s expected this part of the hour will evolve along with the group. Whoever wants to, can join us for coffee to continue the conversation.

“The more you sense the rareness and value of your own life, the more you realize that how you use it, how you manifest it, is all your responsibility. We face such a big task, so naturally we sit down for a while. We sit to make life meaningful.”
