FRESH BREEZE MINDFULNESS SANGHA (FBMS) meets at the at the Govans Presbyterian Church, 5824 York Road, Baltimore. Saturday mornings from 8:30 until 10:30 a.m. Call Carol at 410-323-2180 for details or email mailto:freshbreeze@earthlink.net. The FBMS is a meditation group formed with the intention of studying and practicing mindful living as taught by Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh. We meet to share sitting and walking meditation, sutra readings and dharma discussion in the style of Plum Village, the practice center established by Thich Nhat Hanh in France. The group welcomes those who are new to meditation practice, as well as those with an established practice. Newcomers are encouraged to call beforehand to receive a brief orientation before their first session. As each session will begin with silent sitting, it is important that all participants plan to arrive at least 10 minutes before 8:30 a.m., so that we will be prepared to settle into silence by 8:30. Some meditation cushions (zafus) and chairs will be available, however it will be helpful if those who have their own cushions or meditation benches would bring them for sitting. ~10/05
