I'm over 35, can I still attend?

You can also find a directory of local groups of practice (Sanghas) in the US on the Mindfulness Bell website.

Do I need to bring anything with me?

Nothing is required other than an open mind. If you have a meditation cushion please feel free to bring it along, but this isn't required.

---

I've never meditated before, is that okay?

Definitely. All experiences are welcome.

---

I can only stay for part of the day, is that okay?

Please arrive on time, and if you need to leave early that's okay. Experience has shown us, however, that once you start you may not want to stop...so don't plan anything too important afterwards :-)

---

I'm not sure if I can attend, should I still register?

Yes, by registering we will ensure your spot at the event. If you end up not being able to make it, let us know and we'll open your spot for someone else.
