Our group meets weekly on Mondays from 7-8:30pm except for selected holidays. Meetings take place in the library (upper level) of the Bloomington UU Church unless otherwise specified. We can provide you with meditation cushions, or you may sit on a chair if that is more comfortable. If it is your first time attending, we ask that you attend a brief, 15-minute orientation before your first meeting.
Schedule
6:45-7:00pm Orientation
7pm-7:25pm Sitting Meditation (Zazen)
7:25pm-7:35pm Walking Meditation (Kinhin)

If you arrive after sitting meditation has started, we ask you to please wait and enter the hall during our transition into walking meditation, or until the second period of sitting meditation. If you need to leave at anytime, please be as quiet as possible so that we can maintain an appropriate meditative space.
There is no cost to attend, but we ask that you consider giving a donation to support the group. Suggested donations for drop-in meditation sessions and talks is $5. Checks should be made out to UU Church Bloomington with a note at the bottom specifying it is for the Zen group.
