Re: [Downtown Dharma Sangha Listserv] meditation for chronically ill people

Hi Chelsea,

Yes, IMCW has a Sangha for what you're seeking. The Dis/Abilities and Deaf Sangha, with Alison Shapiro, Tara Beech and Tracy Mulroy. The next gathering looks to be Monday, Sep 9th, online.

Email for info:

ableimcw@gmail.com

Here's the link for their Facebook group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/461938387760196/

I found these two books supportive:

How to Be Sick: A Buddhist-Inspired Guide for the Chronically Ill and Their Caregivers, by Toni Bernhard 

The Resilient Spirit: Transforming Suffering into Insight and Renewal, by Polly Young-Eisendrath (out of print, but used copies on eBay)

Kind regards,

Klia

Hello Downtown Dharma,

I'm wondering if folks are aware of any meditation groups/communities/circles specifically for people who are chronically ill. Relatedly, would welcome any specific resources (books, authors, etc.) for chronically ill meditators.

Thanks, all,

- Chelsea
