MindSpace Meditation Group Begins Next Week!
MindSpace is the perfect group if you are under 40 and want to begin a meditation practice or would like the support of a group to help deepen and maintain your current practice. Currently scheduled to meet in the Sanctuary of Pilgrim Congregational, but may go online due to the COVID surge. Stay tuned. More information about upcoming topics can be found here.
Day of Mindfulness Retreat Postponed
The daylong retreat, Awakening the Body of Love with Dharmacharya Greg Grallo on Saturday, January 22 has been postponed. Apologies for any inconvenience. We’ll let you know when we are able to reschedule.
Awakening the Body of Love
Join the Thich Nhat Hanh Practice Group at Beall Park Recreation Center on Saturday, Jan 22 from 9:30am-3:30pm for a Day of Mindfulness! Whether seasoned in the practice of meditation or new to the practice, coming home to mindfulness of the body lays the foundation for personal and societal transformation. Offered by Dharmacharya Greg Grallo in the Plum Village tradition, we will return to the Four Establishments of Mindfulness and explore the interconnection between the body, the mind, and the world.
Impermanence in Action
This week, several of our volunteers have been exposed to Covid and are waiting on test results which has led to the decision to postpone the noon sits for the rest of January. Similarly, the Bozeman Zen Group has decided to move to Zoom-only for the rest of the month. Stay safe everyone!
Newsletter Correction
We do have a drop-in sit from noon-one on Fridays! January’s newsletter mistakenly listed the noon sits as only occurring Monday-Thursday. Sorry for that error and hope to see you some Friday in the Pilgrim Sanctuary! Check our calendar for other BDC events.
