9:30 am: Wednesday Morning In-Person Meditation


August 4, 2021

In addition to our regular online meetings, we also hold  in-person meditation meetings on Wednesdays at 9:30 a.m., at All Saints Episcopal Church, 1322 Kimball Avenue in Richland. We meditate for half an hour, followed by an optional time for sharing and conversation after meditation. No problem if you want to just meditate and then leave.

Chairs are available in the meeting hall. However, if you prefer to use your own chair, blanket, cushion or bench, you are welcome to bring it. The meetings have recently moved indoors and meet in the Parish Hall at the rear of the church.
Those who regularly attend the in-person meetings have developed a masking policy for the time we are meeting indoors.  The community levels of covid will be checked each time we publish the newsletter.  When community levels are low; masks will be optional.  When community levels are medium or high, masks will be required.
Currently, the covid community levels are low in Benton County so masks are optional.
However,please bring a mask to all in-person meditation sessions in case there is an attending member with greater vulnerability.  If there is an attending member that feels more comfortable with everyone masking, we will all mask in support of the most vulnerable among us.

The Covid Community levels are posted on the following website: BFHD

Our Wednesday morning online meeting is available as well if you are out of town or just don't wish to meet in person at this time. The online meeting also starts at 9:30 a.m. See the Events Calendar for details on how to join in.

9:30 am: One-Day Meditation Retreat with Dori Langevin


August 21, 2021

Dori Langevin

Registration is now open for the daylong meditation retreat with Dori Langevin, a meditation teacher who resides in Spokane, WA.

The retreat will be online via Zoom and will be from 9:30 am to 3:30 pm.

Please  register for the retreat by sending an email to [email protected].  The retreat fee is $10 which can be paid online via Donorbox Or you can send a check made out to Insight Meditation of the Mid-Columbia to 1909 Dogwood Place, Richland, WA 99354.

The topic for the retreat will be, “The Blessing of Equanimity”.

"Equanimity is woven throughout the Buddhadharma and has multiple interdependent expressions. As balance in the midst of the eight worldly vicissitudes of gain and loss, praise and blame, fame and disrepute, pleasure and pain. As boundless unconditional friendliness, compassion and sympathetic joy toward all beings. As realizing and living from the wisdom of non-preferential awareness and letting go…to name a few.  In this retreat, there will be formal meditation, talks, Qigong (movement meditation), and time for questions.  The retreat will be suitable for beginners and experienced practitioners."

Dori will also be giving a talk Friday evening, August 20th, on the same topic and will  also be conducted online via Zoom.  Please see the Events Calendar for more details.

If you would like to provide dana (a donation) to Dori for the meditation
on Friday evening or the retreat, you can do that in one of two ways:

1. Check made out to Dori Langevin and mailed to 4612 S. Schafer Branch
Rd, Spokane, WA 99206
2. PayPal link for retreats or classes
