Katie Ketchum will be standing in the front doors of herchurch at noon to show you the downstairs Altar Art Gallery, or feel free to ask anyone for directions. The Visual Meditation is in silence and self-guided with instructions provided. You're welcome to come for any length you wish; this is a drop in hour, not a full one-hour meditation (unless you want it to be!)
