About Being Bloomington: Being Peace

The Being Bloomington: Being Peace community meditation series celebrates and fosters wellbeing, acceptance, peacefulness, and nonviolence in our lives and in our communities.

Now entering its third season, the Being Peace monthly meditation offers a place for all to come and sit together in stillness and reflection, in both communal and private experience of inner peace.

The meditations feature gentle guided meditation, soothing musical accompaniment, and periods of silence.

Being Peace events take place on the dates listed below, from 12-12:50p at the Monroe County Public Library Auditorium in Bloomington, Indiana. Please arrive anytime after 11:30am to begin settling in and finding your peace. There is no cost to attend.

Being Peace welcomes all meditation styles and you are welcome to bring a cushion, a yoga mat, or to practice the gentle movement or walking meditation of your choice.

If you have any questions about the event or would like to join the email list, we welcome you to contact us at: BeingPeaceBloomington@gmail.com.
