What we’re about
Mondays, 6:45 pm - 8:45 pm
The Shambhala Meditation Center of Chicago continues to offer the Monday Night Sitting Group in Des Plaines at the Des Plaines Public Library. We offer sitting and walking meditation from 6:45 to 7:45 p.m., followed by reading and discussion from 8:00 – 8:45 p.m., with some social time in between. Usually, you can find us in the Public Meeting Room C on the ground floor of the library, to the left of the entrance.
Occasionally we may be in one of the study rooms upstairs. The specific event info will be updated with the correct location when that happens.
