Do you have mindful retreats that last for several days to a week? Also do you have silent retreats? If so, could you give me an idea of cost and what might be available in the summer of 2015? Thank you so very much.
Namaste and in friendship,
Jenny 🙂
Thank you for your interest. The Milwaukee Mindfulness Center does not have extended retreats. We sponsor a Day Of Mindfulness a couple of times a year but they are typically only daylong events.
Where does your Monday evening 7-8:30 PM sitting and walking session meet? Is there any cost?
The Monday Night Meditation group meets the 1st, 3rd, and 4th Mondays at the Park Place Center. There is no cost, donations are accepted. Actually, the group skips the second Monday of the month.

Most of our groups are suitable for newcomers. If you are new to meditation consider attending one of our orientation groups, I give one on the third Thursday of the month at the South Side location, starting at 6pm. Or just pop in early on a Thursday evening and I’ll give you the short course. I’m always there by 6:30. Otherwise, just come to one of the regularly scheduled groups, introduce yourself and someone will fill you in. It’s not hard and we have no rules merely customs. The only thing you really need to bring is your breath.

While we don’t have a formal childcare setting, children are always welcome. Depending on the age of the child, on Sundays there is always someone willing to take the child to our lower room and play/sit with them while you join us. Or if the child can sit somewhat quietly with us, that’s fine too. The other groups on weekday nights, you might find it not so easy but we’ll manage somehow.

Hi there. I am interested in learning more but unfortunately cannot attend the 3rd Sunday session on the 19th. Do you host any other sessions for those that want to learn more?
We also offer basic meditation instruction at 6pm on the third Thursday of every month at our Marian Center location. Otherwise, I try to make myself available for people at other times. You may email me directly at jbarrett10@wi.rr.com and I’m sure we can work something out.

Hi,
Thanks for all you do. Can I just pop in whenever I want or do I need to tell someone?
Thanks,
Shelli
Feel free to drop in on any of our groups any time you like. No prior notification required.

Wonderful post! We are linking to this particularly great post
on our site. Keep up the great writing.
Hi, I was just wondering if the Thursday night meditation round will take place tomorrow night (Aug 11) and is open to new members. How much does it cost to attend? And how about the Saturday session? Thanks so much!
I have mobility issues and walk with a walker. Is it possible to only do the sitting meditation?
Of course. I also have such problems and often sit during walking meditation. Our teacher, Thich Nhat Hahn says we can “become one” with someone who is walking and co-ordinate our breathing with their stepping _()_
Hello-
Do you do the meditation in August at Southgate area? And do you offer yoga?
Yes we will have meditation at Southgate on Thursdays and probably Tuesdays all summer. We do not offer yoga at that location.
Where should a person completely new to all of this begin? Would you suggest the third Sunday meeting in January as a starting place?
What is the cost of the Day of Mindfulness on March 2nd?
$40. I hope you can attend.
