You may join any or all segments. If you are joining us in-person and arrive late, please gently knock on the door and wait for someone to let you in.
Topic of the Dharma Story segment will be shared ahead of time in our weekly newsletter. Subscribe to stay informed.
- Please wear comfortable clothing. Loose-fitting clothing is generally better as it allows for more flexibility when sitting cross-legged on a meditation cushion.
- Note that shoes are not allowed in the venue.
- For safety reasons, the door will be locked during seated meditation. If you arrive late, please knock gently and wait; someone is coming to unlock the door and let you in.
- If you have any questions about joining our meditation session, please email hello@chicagomeditation.org.
Beginners welcome. No cost to attend. Donations welcome. Your generosity will support the continual operations and growth of this group, including the cost of our monthly rent and Meetup subscription fees.
We also meet on other Sundays with slightly different programs – see our event listing for details.
