A change of scenery is in store for meditators who attend the May 17 meeting of the Emerald Coast Meditation Society. The group has been invited to the home of Dr. Marinella Monk and her husband, Robert Monk, in Driftwood Estates, south Walton County.
The meeting will start at 6:30 p.m. with a 30-minute meditation in an unusual setting. Meditators will look out onto Choctawhatchee Bay, sitting on benches on the Monks’ wide dock. In case of inclement weather, they will sit on a large patio, which is roofed.
Directions to the Monks’ home are being given to regular attendees. The ECMS is ecumenical and its attendees follow many different religions. There is no charge for the meetings.
Following the meditation period, the group will have a discussion and social hour. The ECMS was formed in March 2009 and thus is celebrating three years of existence. Dr. Monk spoke on her first book, “You Are Not Alone,” in January 2012, and since then she and her husband have been regular attendees. She has also written a second book, “Gentle Therapy.”
In 2002 Dr. Monk and Robert moved to Santa Rosa Beach where she practices medicine in the medical office building of Sacred Heart Hospital, specializing in pain management.
The ECMS meets on the first and third Thursday of every month except July and August. For information, contact Nancy James at nancyjames@embarqmail.com, or telephone 231-1498.
