The length of the meditation itself will probably be about 15 to 25 minutes long. No previous experience is required; the meditation will be easy for beginners to understand.

What to bring:
You can bring your own drum, or borrow a drum from Ten Thousand Villages stock (depending upon availability). Low pitched drums work best for this meditation. This is not a drum circle, but a way of focusing on the present moment using simple, repetitive rhythm. No drumming experience or technique is required.
It's fine to just show up as you are.
Yet, please be aware that most of us do sit on the floor. Some folks choose to bring their own pillow for sitting on the floor, but there are no requirements to bring anything.
If you require a chair for health reasons, make sure to RSVP and write "please reserve a chair for me" in the comments section below. We have about seven chairs, and can accommodate 23 spots for this event.
