How to Join Our Weekly Meetings

Meeting In-Person & Online

CBMG now offers a hybrid model for attendance at our weekly practice – you can either join us in-person or remotely via Zoom every week, unless announced otherwise (on certain Sundays we may meet online-only or in-person-only – please watch out for weekly announcements).

IN-PERSON

WHEN:	Every Sunday (unless otherwise noted) 3:15 PM CT: door opens 3:30 PM CT: practice begins (if you arrive late, please gently knock on the door and wait for someone to let you in)

Parking: Street parking and the lot right across the street from the Dojo are free on Sundays. Free parking behind the nearby Chicago Public library (Sulzer) – enter that lot via Sunnyside Ave.
NOTES ON JOINING IN-PERSON: Please wear comfortable clothing. Loose-fitting clothing is generally better as it allows for more flexibility when sitting cross-legged on a meditation cushion.
