Online Meditation 🧘 Neurotech Research ⚡ Contemplative Writing

    Reminder: Meditation Community gathers online this evening, October 5, at 7 p.m. EDT

    Posted on October 5, 2026October 5, 2026

    “Is there a clarity waiting, of the kind that is elsewhere now but will be bountiful then?”

    “I take the position there’ll be no cure, that’s sure. But there may be respite. The torque may leave off my hand and my foot, and put them both in the manner of stillness. And if it does, what shall I do with that stillness? What do I think the tremours are keeping me from now, the arms of which I see myself running into? Is there a clarity waiting, of the kind that is elsewhere now but will be bountiful then?” — Stephen Jenkinson, Trembling Still, p. 133

    I will share the passage above at the beginning of our gathering. It is worthy of contemplation, whether or not you have Parkinson’s.

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

    To join us, find the meeting link on the Meditation Community webpage:
