The current series of Beginning Meditation classes will resume on Sunday, February 15, 2026, and will continue for three Sunday afternoons through March 1, 2026. The classes will be conducted in person at All Saints Episcopal Church, 1322 Kimball Avenue, Richland, in the Parish Hall. There is no charge for the classes; donations are accepted. Registration for the classes is still open, and you’re welcome to register and join us for any of the remaining classes.

Please send an email to insightmeditation.midcol@gmail.com to register for the classes.

The classes are intended to provide an introduction to meditation for those new to meditation or serve as a useful “touchstone” for more experienced practitioners. You are welcome to attend any or all of the classes, especially if you’ve missed either of the first two classes. Each class can be a stand alone class, and will focus on a different topic. All classes will be from 1:30- 3:00 pm.

The classes will be taught by Chris Murray, guiding teacher of Insight Meditation of the Mid-Columbia, and Fabiola Robinson, a meditation teacher who recently moved to the Tri-Cities and joined the meditation group.

February 15 — Mindfulness of Thoughts and Emotions in Meditation
