Tune In and Meditate

"Connection with others loosens the bonds of self-concern and helps us find our best course of action in the world." |

We are now using an online format for Tuesday night meditations
With an eye toward the COVID-19 crisis and the new practices we must all be mindful of, we now begin a new exploration together, using technology to enhance our practice at home – with an intention to allow kindness and compassion to become contagious!
Therefore, beginning Tuesday, March 17 and until further notice we are suspending our weekly, Tuesday evening,
in-person meditation meetings at First Congregational Church in Prescott, and invite you to meet with one another online or by phone.
Our practice, at its core, supports us in meeting such uncertain times with compassion, generosity and wisdom. In this moment in which 'social distancing' is encouraged to maintain the physical well-being of ourselves and others, we can continue to come together as a community to support one another in our practice by gathering online. In these times we need the support of the sangha and the wisdom of the dharma more than ever.
"I want to bring attention to the potential for deepening and enlivening your home practice in this new format.
For me, home retreat has been transformative in ways I never experienced in residential retreats. It has allowed me to deeply integrate this spiritual path into my living space, creating the visual and temporal reminders of path and practice in my own home. Our practice supports us in uncertain times like this."
— Brian Lesage
We invite you to meet with one another online using the free Zoom platform for video and audio conferencing. It offers a 2-way audio/video connection -- you can see and hear our Dharma Leader and the other retreat participants, who can also see and hear you if you choose. If you participate on Zoom, you will have the opportunity to interact. This allows us to maintain a sense of community to practice together, including Q&A and discussion. Alternatively, you may join the meeting using phone audio only.
Please join the Zoom meeting between 6:45 and 6:50 pm local time (MST), allowing us time to get connected.
As usual, meditation will get started at 7:00pm.
