SUMMARY:Meditation Mini-Retreat (online & in-person)
DESCRIPTION: On the 4th Sunday of each month\, we do a mini-retreat with this schedule (Central Time): \n3:15 PM: Door opens / Zoom link opens \n3:30 PM: Slow Moving Meditation – to help settle our body & mind \n3:50 PM: Sitting Meditation \n4:25 PM: Walking Meditation  \n~4:45 PM: Sitting Meditation \n~5:10 PM: Self-Massage \n~5:30 PM: Adjourn \n \nYou may join any or all segments of the evening. If you are joining us in-person and arrive late\, please gently knock on the door and wait for someone to let you in. \nPreparing for the In-Person Meeting:\n\nPlease wear comfortable clothing. Loose-fitting clothing is generally better as it allows for more flexibility when sitting cross-legged on a meditation cushion.\nNote that shoes are not allowed in the venue. \nFor 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. \nIf you have any questions about joining our meditation session\, please email hello@chicagomeditation.org.\n\n\nPreparing for the Online Session:\n\nCheck that your internet and audio/video is working beforehand\nWear comfortable and loose clothing\nFind as quiet a place as possible; while also be understanding of each other should kids/pets\, etc. make noise in the background! (we’ll use the “mute” function judiciously)\nIf using a meditation cushion or bench\, make sure to also have support under your knees – not too hard and not too soft (e.g.\, rest round cushion on top of a larger square cushion or folded towels/blankets\, etc.)\nIf using a chair\, sit on a sturdy & comfortable chair where the thighs can be parallel with the floor\nFor moving meditation\, please stand in an area that is roomy enough for both arms to extend freely in all directions\nOnce you join via Zoom\, you may want to switch to Gallery view to get the best visual experience\n\n\nBeginners 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. \nWe also meet on other Sundays with slightly different programs – see our event listing for details.
