You are invited to practice quiet meditation with IndyPL and Indy Community Yoga. This practice is suitable for beginners, Zen Masters, and everyone in between. No special knowledge, experience, attire, belief, or non-belief is required. Just be yourself.
Our meditation is a simple practice of finding ease in your body and ease in your breathing in a supportive, relaxed setting with other humans. There is nothing to achieve and nothing to attain, but you may find some clarity and, with regular practice, find it easier to face all that life brings with courage and grace.
We’ll have chairs set up. The practice leader will offer guidance for beginners, but the bulk of the practice will be quiet sitting for up to 25 minutes. After meditation, participants may share reflections with the group and ask questions.
The sessions will be led by the practice leaders of Indy Community Yoga, a local nonprofit that works to support our collective well-being by offering daily meditation and yoga practices, seasonal silent retreats, and community care projects that are always 100% free to participants.

In 1960, after residents petitioned for a permanent library, a storefront branch opened at 30th Street and Lafayette Road, the first branch in the system to be located in a shopping center. A stand-alone facility at 3325 Lowry Road opened in 1970 with 12,000 square feet. On June 1, 2019 the Lowry Road facility was replaced by a new 20,000-square-foot building at 3905 Moller Road.
