Metta: Mid-Week Meditation
Pause. Breathe. Rest.
Wednesdays Mid-Day
Every Wednesday from 11:30am-12:00pm a Zoom room will be open for you to sit quietly with other Follenites. Then, at 12.00, there will be a guided loving-kindness meditation (Metta) for about 15 minutes. If you think you might like to do this, regardless of how often or how seldom, you must register so that, when you do come, your email address will be recognized and you can be let in. Pause. Breathe. Rest. (Reply to metta@follen.org)

Follen Stitches

Contact Nancy Sofen for details and link to join.
