Gray-necked Rockfowl: Friendly Meeting for Meditation Online (in the manner of nontheist f/Friends and Quakers)



Dear nontheist f/Friends, 

Friendly Meeting for Meditation Online (in the manner of nontheist f/Friends and Quakers) ~ all are welcome. 

I'm planning to send an invitation to a once a month 'Friendly Meeting for Meditation Online (in the manner of nontheist f/Friends, NtFs and Quakers)' for 15 minutes from 7:45 am to 8 am Pacific Time tomorrow, November 9th, - a little prior to this time - in a G + group video Hangout, in this email thread, as a kind of NtFriendly experiment. (Here's a time converter - http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/converter.html).

Simply click the URL in the email tomorrow ... or "Join Hangout" from my G+ Profile page ... https://plus.google.com/u/0/118114165587746804948/posts ... and come check out, too, what a G+ Hangout is like, in addition to sharing meditation with sharing in this NtF Meeting. People can share in voice if inspired, as in Quaker Meeting, as well as in group texting.  

I'm inspired by both San Francisco Friends' School's once a month, all-school Quaker Meeting, which I attended for the first time on Wednesday (http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2013/11/northern-gannets-ntf-wuas-ffriendly.html), as well as San Francisco Friends' Meeting unprogrammed Quaker Meeting before Monthly Business Meeting (... and tomorrow's meeting also precedes Quaker-informed, MIT OCW-centric World University and School's online, open, hour-long, monthly business meeting also in a G+ Hangout - http://worlduniversityandschool.blogspot.com/2013/11/november-9-2013-wuas-monthly-business.html - with a different G+ profile for joining the Hangout - WUaS is STEM-centric, secular, atheist, and friendly as we've discussed in the monthly business meeting a few years ago), in being NtF lead to initiate this unprogrammed Quaker NtF Meeting online.

A Quaker-informed (think SPICES) relaxation response meditation and vis-a-vis a similar meditation deepened in warm water in the Harbin Hot Springs' warm pool, for example, or in one's own bathtub, can be very enjoyable and salutary. 

Invitation to attend or participate to come tomorrow. 

With f/Friendly regards, 
Scott
