We highly recommend that you practice entering this Zoom meeting today (Monday) or sometime Tuesday earlier in the day.  If you get Zoom to work properly, you will see a the following pop-up screen for the REGULAR MINDFUL REFLECTION ONLINE COMMUNITY ZOOM LINK:

"Please wait for the host to start the meeting. This is a recurring meeting.  Mindful Reflection Community."

First time users:  To see a video about how to use Zoom for the first time, go to https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NIYudDeULlw.  Please note that your prompts might be slightly different since there are many types of browsers and operating systems.  The only thing you need to do is install something that allows Zoom to run. It only takes a few seconds.

If you are on a mobile device, go to your App Store and download Zoom Cloud Meetings.  Then come back to this e-mail and click the meeting link.

If you try to get this set up on Monday night or Tuesday morning, and you cannot get to the screen that shows "Please wait for the host to start the meeting", feel free to call or text Jay at 312-405-5823 for technical support.

Sorry for all the emails!  This is an unusual situation.  
Peace,

Dear Beautiful Meditators,
Since we’re not able to meet at UUBN for our usual meditation group, we’re going to try a Zoom meeting. Please download the Zoom app to your phone, iPad, or sign up on your computer. It’s very simple to use. We will follow our regular format: 20 minutes sitting, 20 minutes walking/sitting, and 20 minutes sitting followed by a short reading (Dave will read something from Sumedho) and a discussion/check in. I set up the “room” a bit early so that we can give people some time to join us, but we’ll start at our usual time of 6:00.

Hope to see you there!
Peace,
Carolyn
