Friends,
There’s a time to look more deeply and systematically into our meditation practice, so we know more clearly where we’re trying to go, and how the practice gets us there.

Every year we try to offer an Eastside opportunity for that deeper look, with a January six-week introductory class.

While last year we had to offer this class solely online, we’re delighted to be able to offer a hybrid version this year. This means that you’ll be able to attend in-person in Kirkland at Northlake Unitarian Universalist Church, but you’ll also be able join via Zoom from wherever you are.

With a little help from our friends we’ve developed some audio and video gear that makes this work very smoothly, so the online and in-person folks feel like they’re in one space together.

The class will be 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. on six consecutive Tuesdays, starting Jan. 4. We’ll be joining the Seattle intro class for a share day of mindfulness on Saturday, Feb. 12.

The series will include progressive teaching over the six weeks, sitting together, and plenty of time for discussion. These classes are fun, because people become very bonded and open, and get a chance to stretch on the path of meditation and spiritual growth.

The class is suitable for beginning practitioners, but also for deepening practice of more seasoned people.

While there is a suggested donation to SIMS for the series, everyone is welcome whatever their financial realities. So if you want to join, whatever you feel comfortable offering is fine.

If you will be joining, we’d very much welcome two volunteers to help with set up during the class. Here’s a link to sign up to help:

If you have any questions, please email Steve at stevellen95@comcast.net.

I hope to see you there, so we can journey on the path together.

Sincerely, with good vibes,

Steve Wilhelm
