Morning of Mindfulness, 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Sunday, May 19: Sangha member Jan Goss will again lead a morning of mindfulness, followed by a shared vegan potluck, at the Coralville home of Brian Glidewell. To reserve a spot, and for more information, contact Jan at jangossphd@gmail.com. 

Third-Saturday Walking Meditation Now that the weather is nice, we're happy to announce that there will now be two opportunities to join us for Walking Meditation at Hickory Hill Park (Conklin Lane entrance): at 10 a.m. on the first Saturday of every month, and now also on the third Saturdays (in both cases, followed by an opportunity to meet at nearby Press Coffee for beverages and conversation). Thanks to Sangha members Jan Goss and Jack Terndrup for facilitating the third-Saturday walks!

Fifth-Wednesday Meditations Now In-Person Because of a desire of many Sangha members to gather in person more often, Winding Path will now meet at Trinity Episcopal Church at 7 p.m. on the first, third, and (now) occasional fifth Wednesdays of the month. This year, that includes May 29, July 31, and October 20. We’ll continue to offer online meditation via Zoom on the second and fourth Wednesdays of each month. (If you forget, you can always check our Sangha calendar; our facilitators will also announce the upcoming week’s “location” every Wednesday.)

Ongoing
For the latest, most accurate event information, please visit our calendar page and subscribe to our emails list (see the link to the right) so we can alert you about changes, cancellations, and new opportunities. 

Here are some of our ongoing gatherings:

• In-Person Meditation: 7 p.m. on the first and third Wednesday of every month. We meet in the St. Francis Chapel (second floor) of Trinity Episcopal Church in Iowa City from 7-8 p.m. IMPORTANT: Because Trinity requires its front door to be locked at all times, we try to have a volunteer staff it from about 10 minutes to 7 until about 5 minutes after. If you arrive a few minutes after that or don't see anyone at the door, please press the doorbell near the entrance and (hopefully) we'll hear you and can come let you in. Unfortunately, once we begin meditation (usually by 7:10 or 7:15 p.m.), we won't be able to let you in.

• Online Meditation: 7 p.m. on the second, fourth, and occasional fifth Wednesday of every month. Via Zoom. Click here for the link.  (Here's a mnemonic to help you remember when we meeting in-person and when we meet online: "First and Third Meet in the Room; Other Wednesdays Hop on Zoom!")

• Walking Meditation at Hickory Hill Park (Conklin Lane Entrance): 10 a.m. on the first  Saturday of every month. (NOTE: The third-Saturday walking meditation is on pause for the winter, effective October 2023.)

• Men's Group (usually online; occasionally in person): 8 a.m. the fourth Sunday of every month. Click here for the Zoom link. 

• Winding Path Sangha Women’s Group: The Winding Path Women's Group meets at 5:30 p.m. on the second Friday of each month, sometimes online, sometimes in person. The gathering is an opportunity for women to get to know one another, explore their meditation and mindfulness practices, and build a sense of community. All are welcome, regardless whether you’re part of the Winding Path Sangha. For more information, and to join an email list for the group, contact Kathleen at palmreaderkathleend@gmail.com. 

Thank you for practice, your friendship, and your smile.
