WHAT

This is a weekly FTF silent sitting meditation for folks who want to sit together regularly and amplify each other's practice. Hosted by Yours Truly, Karen Sella of Luminanda, long-term yoga and meditation teacher/practitioner. Sue Steindorf of Dayaalu will also occasionally host.

WHO

This is primarily for experienced (or self-directed beginning) practitioners who are committed to showing up on a regular basis for peer-to-peer hosted (not guided) practice.

All silent practice traditions welcome as long as you're committed to sitting silently for the duration of each practice.

No experience required, but please come prepared to guide your own practice. There will be a brief 15-minute period at the end of each session for people to connect, ask questions, and share with each other as inspired, but no formal instruction offered. 

We will have a few throw pillows, bolsters, and chairs available for those who may need these, but please bring what you need. The room temperature is generally somewhere between 68-70°, so plan accordingly for your comfort. Masks are required as mandated for now.

WHEN

Weekly Wednesdays, 12:15-12:45pm, beginning September 15th. The group will stay open to new members through October, at which time we will likely become a closed group.
