These group meditations are free and open to the public. Our time together includes the following:

• A thirty-minute guided meditation.

• A one-off talk, a reading/discussion, a mindfulness activity, or a combination of these things. Please bring a journal and pen or pencil to use for activities requiring writing and journaling.

Helpful information about the venue:

• We will meet in one of the library conference rooms. Office chairs are provided to sit in. If you prefer another arrangement, you may sit or lie on the floor. Feel free to bring yoga mats, cushions, blankets or whatever you need to be comfortable during the meditation.

• We encourage you to bring your journal for taking notes and doing written activities.

• No donations will be requested or accepted at these meetings. This is the Dakota County Library Policy. If you feel moved to donate, follow the instructions on our donation page, but this is not necessary. These events are offered freely to you for your benefit and welfare.

Details on How to Join us Virtually

We have recently been live-streaming these group meditation online as well. To join us virtually, go to our Facebook Page. We aim to start live-streaming at 6:20 to 6:25 p.m. You may need to push on the image of our live-stream in the Posts section of our page to start watching it.

To best enjoy the live-stream, sit or lie down in a comfortable, energizing position. If you are tired, it is best to sit upright to prevent yourself from falling asleep. Then if it feels safe and wise, close your eyes and listen with an open heart and mind. Enjoy!

Feel free to post comments and questions on our page and Freeman will respond to them within the next few days.
