Spring 8-Week Mindfulness Series

Written on:

Join us for a virtual series on mindfulness meditation for Friends, sponsored by the Friends Counseling Service! In this 8-week series we will explore the theory and practice of mindfulness meditation and ways in which the practice can enrich and deepen our experience of meeting for worship. Each class will offer a brief talk, a time of meditation, and time for questions or comments. The class is open to all; no prior experience necessary. Join us for one session or all eight, whatever your schedule permits. All sessions are held on Zoom – links for each session in the series will be sent a few hours prior on the same day.

To support the sustainability of our offerings, we are experimenting with a “pay as led” arrangement, with a suggested payment of $10 per session.  Please don’t let this be a barrier — if you cannot contribute financially, please come anyway.

She has studied Mindfulness Stress Reduction at Thomas Jefferson Hospital and taught several courses in Mindfulness Meditation. She has a committed personal meditation practice.

Perfection of the Present Moment

Written on:

A Five-Day Virtual Mindfulness Meditation Retreat with Mary Grace Orr, Anne Briggs, Larissa Kitenko, and Rebecca Kronlage

How can we be present in all the varied and often difficult experiences of our lives open heartedly and with acceptance? The simple technique of mindfulness, taught by the Buddha, teaches us to do just that. This silent virtual retreat will have periods of sitting and walking meditation, opportunities to talk with a teacher, and formal presentations.
