Meditation Mondays

Monday 1pm - 2pm

September 9 - December 16, 2024

Katonah Village Library, 26 Bedford Rd, Katonah

Led by Warner Dick and Tom Pantaleoni

Open to All • Register with Katonah Library (optional).

The Monday book group will be reading The Wisdom of No Escape and the Path of Loving-Kindness. We practice mindfulness meditation together for the first 20 minutes and discuss a chapter for the remainder of the hour. No prior experience with meditation is necessary – instruction is available. At the Library, we sit on comfortable chairs, rather than cushions on the floor.

Join us for a friendly exploration of inspiring topics, and experience the mutual support gained through in-person group meditation. Drop-ins welcome.
