During these support group sessions, there will be a short opening talk, a 15-minute meditation practice session (no previous mediation experience is necessary), og et åbent forum til at diskutere personlige erfaringer med alderdom, sygdom, død, grief, or bereavement. Sessions may include Tonglen for those who have died and, if time allows, a question and answer period.
Chaplain Alley’s dharma talk will include reading a verse or quote for individual or group contemplation. The list of books she will use is included below.
