 In our newsletter earlier this week we mentioned that we were initiating online meditation during this period of school closure and imposed isolation.
We had our first meditation on Wednesday evening and we decided to continue the practice twice each week for the duration of this crisis - on Sunday and Wednesday evenings at 7:30 p.m. You are invited to join this online meditation on any Sunday or Wednesday evening at 7:30 p.m. that you are free to do so. (Irish time i.e.Grenwich Mean Time)
To join us, you will need to download the ZOOM App to your device - your phone, tablet or computer and then as the time approaches 7:30 pm click here to join the meditation. You may be asked on the way in to indicate if you wish to use the audio on your device - and, Yes, you do! Once Zoom opens, a horizontal bar may appear across the bottom of your screen - or you may have to tap your screen to bring it up; you will have the option there to mute your audio (or to disable your video).. If you have never used Zoom before you can click here to download simple instructions.
Each meeting will start with a very short reflection followed by a short period of meditation - we started with 10 minutes and will build up to 25 over the coming weeks. There will be an opportunity to chat afterwards if anyone wishes to do so.
Because we will be using the free version of Zoom, our meeting time is limited to 40 minutes, but initially they will be much shorter. In the event that we go over 40 minutes, Zoom will automatically close down.
I appreciate this is the second update this month (and in the same week) - but please be assured this is a one-off exceptional occurrence because of the unique circumstances we find ourselves in.
