    Reminder Meditation Community gathers online this evening 7 p.m. EDT.

    Posted on September 28, 2026October 5, 2026

    Reminder Meditation Community gathers online this evening 7 p.m. EDT. The session last about 30 minutes.

    In my preamble, I read a short passage from Stephen Jenkinson’s book, “Trembling, Still.” It is a deeply personal and contemplative account of living with Parkinson’s disease and neurodegeneration. Written in a poetic, sometimes difficult style, the book turns his diagnosis into a meditation on five recurring themes: impermanence, embodiment, uncertainty, limitation, and attention in adversity. His particular experience becomes a way of contemplating the universal experience of being embodied, vulnerable and alive.

    The meditation invites you to create a safe, sacred space in your home. We establish a meditation posture, then guide you in developing focus through the breath and other meditation anchors, continuing in a period of silence. We close with a compassion meditation that supports your return to daily life.
