LOCATION:George Chuvalo Neighbourhood Centre
DESCRIPTION:Saved in Palaner as: saved\n\nPalaner match: 18% · why: lots of
  people going\n\nWelcome to Community Mindfulness Meditation (GCNC Meditat
 es)!\n\nWhere and when: We meet at the George Chuvalo Neighbourhood Centre
  in the Junction Triangle in Toronto every Monday from 7 pm to 8 pm. Chair
 s\, limited cushions\, and yoga mats are provided (bring your own if you h
 ave a favourite)\n\nWhat and who: weekly meditation sessions for and by ne
 ighbours and community members. No experience and no registration are need
 ed and attendance is free or by donation ($5 suggested\, cash only in pers
 on). Learn more about your facilitators\, JulieMae (she/her) and Christina
  (she/her)\, at https://gcncmeditates.wixsite.com/community-meditation\n\n
 How (structure): We begin by settling in and grounding ourselves in the sp
 ace\, with an optional check-in to share how we are feeling\, followed by 
 a 25-minute guided meditation practice. After the period of formal practic
 e\, there is a period of optional sharing once again\, where practitioners
  can share insights\, reflections\, challenges\, questions\, ponderings\, 
 and joys. We conclude our gathering with a dedication of the good generate
 d from our practice to specific individuals or groups of individuals. We m
 ay also set an intention for the week ahead and share that—again\, always 
 optionally. We offer these practices in a space that is inclusive of all\,
  while recognizing that mindfulness meditation is not a one-size-fits-all 
 approach\; we therefore encourage folks to follow their inner guidance whe
 never needed and to ask questions and for support or guidance whenever nec
 essary. Both facilitators are trained in trauma-informed mindfulness instr
 uction and keep that at heart in their guidance\, recognizing that we all 
 show up with different life experiences. We facilitate these sessions with
  the support and guidance of our own teachers\, practising and learning wi
 th them to benefit our community.\n\nQuestions: You can contact us here on
  meetup\, via our site\, or via e-mail at gcncmeditates@gmail.com. We so l
 ook forward to meeting and practising with you\, for the benefit of all.
