Dear Sangha,
We will meet for meditation on Sunday from 6 -7:30 pm in the Walker Room of the Unitarian Universalist Church of Bloomington Normal, 1613 E. Emerson Bloomington, IL 61701. Arrive a few minutes early to get settled. Chairs are available, but you can bring your own cushion or bench.
We meditate together for an hour: sit for 20 minutes, walk/sit for 20 minutes, sit for another 20 minutes. Then have a 30 minute discussion of a book, dharma talk, video, or just “checking in” with our practice. Participation in the discussion is always optional.
The book we are currently reading together is Mindfulness A to Z by Arnie Kuzak, Ph.D. (link below). We will read it together over the months and there is no need to obtain the book.

Hi all,
Many thanks to Karen who has skillfully and thoughtfully managed our email list for the past many years. You will be missed! All Bloomington Normal Meditation emails will now come from this address. We are so grateful for Karen's attention to our group, protecting our privacy, getting the word out about meditation, and all the other ways she has made our group sustainable and available to all.
I should also note that Greg created and oversees our website from afar, and we are so grateful for him, too. Thank you, Greg and Karen! You’ve been generous with your skills and time, and we appreciate it.
I will try to continue Karen’s tradition of sending out a weekly email. Occasionally, I’ll send out another email with information pertinent to our group.
Please feel free to contact me with any questions, thoughts, or concerns, or if you’d like to be removed from the list.
Carolyn
