Cancelled

Please join us in Naples for a Forum for FCM members and nonmembers on Saturday, December 21 from 9:00 am  – 12:30 pm at Unity of Naples, 2000 Unity Way, Naples FL 34112. 

Whether you are a new or experienced meditator, the event is an opportunity to support and deepen the practice of mindfulness and meditation, and to nourish the seeds of well being, inner peace and happiness in our lives.

The morning will include sitting and walking meditation, mindful movements and song. This will be a chance for all of us to put down the busyness of our lives and to relax, refresh, and renew with the healing energy of mindfulness. The day is an opportunity to experiment with letting go of our stories and dramas about our lives and the world. Instead we will practice simply be present to, and nourished by, our actual experience in the present moment.

The Forum will be held in-person only.

Please familiarize yourself with our FCM Health Protocols and plan to arrive between 8:30 and 8:45 am.

There is a $10.00 fee to cover the rental cost of the facility.

If you have any questions please contact Chris Lee Nguyen (chrisleenguyen2000@gmail.com) or Tony Pollit (fanthonypollitt@gmail.com).

This year, Southwest Florida residents have a special opportunity to take part in the Beginning Anew Ceremony. The program will be held at our new space at Unity of Naples and zoomed from Tampa so that we can practice virtually as one sangha, members and non-members alike!

In the Buddhist tradition, the passing of an old year and the beginning of a new one is celebrated in a sacred manner. We take stock of the past year, our life and relationships, our activities and endeavors, and make a sincere inventory of the actions of our body, speech and mind. Then, symbolically freeing ourselves from the baggage of the past year, we start the New Year with renewed focus, motivation and inspiration.

The ceremony will guide practitioners through a review of the past year and then allow time to write down and let go of the past (including regrets). Aspirations and intentions for the new year are then envisioned, written down, and strengthened by the ceremonial process.

After the ceremony, there will be a light potluck of finger foods and beverages for all to gather together and celebrate.

There will be a $10.00 fee to cover rent for the use of the facility.

For more information about the ceremony, please contact Brandy at brandymkidd@gmail.com.  For information about the potluck and signing up for Selfless Service, contact Sheila at sajludwig@gmail.com
