​Morning Meditation - The meditation is silent. We welcome and encourage you to share a very brief reading, poem, quote, excerpt, or other offering at the beginning and/or at the end. However, please make sure your shares are under 5 minutes so folks still have
20 minutes of silent practice.
Afternoon Meditation - This is a guided meditation, offering loving-kindness in the last 5 minutes.
​
8. Nearing the end, invite participants to share wishes for loving-kindness in the chat-box.
9. Stay after a few minutes, if you can, to be with folks who need a listening ear or have questions.

Steps to Finding Coverage
Facilitators are asked to seek coverage for their sessions, and with as much advanced notice as possible. If you are intending on ending your volunteer term, please provide us with as much advanced notice as possible (or at least 2 weeks' notice), so we have time to find coverage and communicate it to the community.

-
Ask your Support Buddy.

Ask other potential subs listed on the schedule under your session.
