Come for the 15 minute meditation at 12pm MST on Fridays and stay for the conversation afterward, or join shortly after 12:15pm MST for the hang - either way, all are welcome!

We suggest meditating outside to connect more deeply with the Earth and the elements, if you are able, or, if inside, face toward window or with natural objects in your space. Sitting in stillness and silence in relationship with the Earth and the Moon, we honor the oneness and interconnectedness of all life.
