Starting Monday, August 2nd at 6pm

​The Mountain Meditation Circle is a free, open, drop-in group that has been meeting every Monday evening for the last 4 years.  New participants are always welcome and attendance is on a drop-in basis, which means you do not need to sign up or RSVP and you can join us whenever your schedule allows.
 
There is also an option to join via Zoom, but your camera must be on to join our Circle. 

The format of the meeting is as follows:

1. 30 Minutes of Meditation.   The first 10 minutes or so are guided and the last 20 minutes is practiced in silence.   We practice Insight Meditation, or Vipassana.
2. Sharing:  Member will do a check-in where you can take time to let the group know how you are doing and if there is anything you would like to share. This is optional, but everyone is given an opportunity to share.  This is a one-way share, where members are heard, but typically not responded to directly. 
3. Lesson:  The group is led by Alisa Witt who is a certified Mindfulness Meditation Teacher.  She will typically bring a topic to share with either a reading, short audio or video lesson that the members will listen to and discuss. Members are also welcome to bring lessons to share (please let Alisa know in advance)  

The topics are all related to Mindfulness, or the qualities that support Mindfulness, which may include:

Acceptance, Non-Judging, Patience, Trust, Gratitude, Generosity, Curiosity, Kindness, Non-Striving

If you have never meditated before, or consider yourself a novice, support is available.    If you have any questions, please contact Alisa Witt at wittalisa@gmail.com or 847-890-5262.  It would be helpful to arrive about 10 minutes early to your very first meeting.
