About this Event

We're under the rings at the 100 Acres. for a map to the precise location. Please refer to the FAQ for directions.

Hello! My name is Tony Nguyễn Wiederhold. My pronouns are he/him. I've been leading yoga, qi gong, and meditation practices here in Indianapolis since 2013 and have a daily meditation practice slightly older than that.

This is a space of community care, sincere practice, and ordinary humanity for all of us who'd like to live in a world where everyone has access to food, shelter, healthcare, and safety in community. If you are disturbed and/or outraged by exploitation, profiteering, and genocide and enjoy being in the natural world (trees! flowers! kitties! birds!), and sharing snacks, you might enjoy hanging out with us.

No special knowledge or experience needed. Come as you are. Wear comfortable clothing. Bring something to sit on, like a blanket, mat, chair, or cushion.

Schedule

Qi Gong. 9:30 – 10:00 a.m. We’ll find ease and strength in the body through a series of eight flowing movements set to music. This practice is all standing (seated is also ok) and suitable for a broad range of abilities and body types.

Meditation. 10:05 – 10:45 a.m. Sitting quietly together with nothing to achieve or attain. No special knowledge, experience, belief, or non-belief required. Just be natural. Our practice form is simple: quiet, seated meditation, then walking meditation, then a bit more seated meditation. A few cushions are available. It's also fine to lay down. Again, nothing to acheive or attain.

Reflection. 10:45 - 11:00 a.m. We pass the microphone around the circle. If you like, you may introduce yourself and share whatever is on your heart. If you don't feel like sharing, you may just pass the mic to the next person.

Tea and Snack Break

Mindful Listening and Dialogue. 11:20 a.m. - noon: After a brief tea and comfort break, we practice one of our four flavors of facilitated listening practice. Group discussion follows. Share any questions, reflections, and observations and hear what others have to share. It’s ok to just listen, too. We close practice with loving-kindness and wishes for well being.

Safety

If you have any symptoms of contagious illness (e.g. coughing, fever, runny nose, body aches, malaise, etc.), please stay home and recover. Thank you for caring for your health and the well-being of people attending practice.

See you soon!

Love, Tony
