Meditation at Federal Center Plaza – May 9 – 4:30PM

Please join us for a public meditation May 9, 2025, 4:30PM, Chicago Federal Center Plaza, Kluczynski Building, 230 S. Dearborn Street, Chicago, IL. We will sit in silent meditation as a sign of our unity with those most vulnerable in our world who currently suffer from the policies of the new U.S. presidential administration. Then we will sound our singing bowls in a chorus for peace and justice.

The greed, aggression, and indifference demonstrated by our elected officials are causing suffering on a vast scale. Love, respect and wisdom compel us to sit in solidarity with those who suffer in the face of racism, gender- and sexual orientation-based violence, xenophobia, economic injustice, war, and environmental degradation.

Our desire is to work with courageous hearts to prevent harm and shift the tide toward that which will benefit all people, the natural world, and the future that belongs to our children. All are welcome to join us in silent meditation. If you wish, please bring a meditation cushion or a folding chair and your singing bowl. We will sit for 20 minutes, do a walking meditation for 10 minutes, and sound our bells to conclude.
