·       The Open-Hearted Awareness Practice Group meets monthly on the third Tuesday from 7:00–8:30 PM in the Adult Ed Room. Using practices provided in Loch Kelly’s book, The Way of Effortless Mindfulness, the group uses different methods that point to ever-present awareness, available to all of us, regardless of our religion, culture, nation, or belief system. Participants don’t need prior experience with meditation and are free to come, each month, as they are able. Please contact the church office (office@wallingfordumc.org) if you would like to join this group.
