Grandmother's Empowerment Groups with Jane Henderson usually meet on the first Saturday of the month (check schedule) from 1-3, in the 3rd floor studio of the Healing
Circle. This is a wonderfully nurturing group. Jane tells the story of the Grandmothers, leads us in the Dance of Creation,
several meditations, such as the net of light, and reads the messages from the Grandmother's current for that month. This
is not just a group for grandmothers, it is a group for all ages of women who would like to be empowered or receive
the messages from the Great Council of Grandmothers. Jane
Henderson is a licensed Social Worker in private practice in Woonsocket, and a Certified Eden Energy Medicine Practitioner
in part time practice at the Healing Circle.

Insight Meditation on Thursday Nights
The
Insight Meditation Community of Providence is a growing
community dedicated to supporting the practice of insight (vipassana)
meditation and the study of the dharma, the Buddha's teachings on how
to live a fulfilling and helpful life that
addresses the suffering of
each person and all beings.
Vipassana meditation, which can be translated
as insight
meditation, is a simple yet profound practice from the teachings of
the Buddha. It encompasses
two interwoven phases: the development of
tranquility (shamatha) that makes way for clear seeing (vipassana) of
things
as they really are. The practice helps participants cultivate
deeper awareness that fosters compassion for self,
others, and the
world.
We gather weekly on Thursday evenings from 7:30 to 9:00 PM for 30
minutes
of sitting meditation practice followed by a dharma reading or
recorded dharma talk. Both experienced meditators
and persons new to
meditation are warmly welcome. For anyone new to meditation, optional
brief instruction
is provided at 7:10 PM. The meditation hall will be
open and silent beginning at 7:15 for those who prefer to sit
for
slightly longer.
For those who have some meditation experience, possibly including
some
experience with intensive silent retreats, we also have a monthly
First Sunday Extended Practice, a monthly half- day
of silent sitting
and walking meditation.
Donations to support the expenses and growth of the community
are
warmly invited and gratefully received. For those wanting a suggested
amount to donate, consider $5-10
for the weekly Thursday sitting and
$10-25 for the monthly Extended Practice. However, whether and how
much
to donate is entirely your choice.
We look forward to welcoming you to our community of practice and
in growing together in clear-seeing, wisdom, and compassion.
