  Anapana Meditation in events Monday, January 30, 2012POSTED BY JILL AT 12:13 PMlink

Vipassana comes from the Buddhist tradition and means, "to see things as they are." Anapana Meditation is the first step in a Vipassana Meditation practice, and will be taught to children by longtime UU Studio city member Phyllis Moss and her team of trained Vipassana practitioners.

This is a gentle, non sectarian approach to meditation by stilling the mind and following the breath. Such a wonderful tool for growing kids to have!

This program is free of charge to students.

We will have an informational meeting for interested families on March 11, Sunday at 11:30AM in the Big Room.

Please contact Phyllis Moss if you have any questions: phyllis.moss@gmail.com

  Join the Religious Exploration Team in events Saturday, January 7, 2012POSTED BY JILL AT 1:07 PMlink

The Religious Exploration team has much more planned for this year, and we would love for you to be a part of it all. Our next committee meeting is January 24 at 7:30PM (7:00 if you want to join us for dinner) in the Big Room.

We especially want to invite you to our committee meeting on Feb 12...which will be a Sunday after church at 11:30AM...childcare provided. We think is an easier time for us to meet with those of you who have kids, and will plan 2 or 3 after church meetings each year, if this seems to work out best.
