The Midwest Alliance for Mindfulness is pleased to offer online events, courses, practice meetings and other learning opportunities. Some of our offerings are online only, some are on-site only, and many are simultaneously online and on-site. When you click on an offering on our calendar, you will see whether it is online via Zoom or on location (some classes offer both options). Register for the class you wish to participate in and purchase your pass (if applicable).
Receiving Your Zoom Link
When you register for an online offering, the Zoom link will come to you via email with your registration confirmation. You must also purchase a pass for paid classes and sign a waiver (one time only) to attend.
What you will need
It’s advised that you practice using your video camera and microphone with a friend or family member prior to your first online offering if you have never used them before. You can test your bandwidth at www.speedtest.net. Closing all other programs and windows on your computer to reduce delay and choppiness.
Terms and Conditions
The following additional terms and conditions pertain to your attendance and participation in online and hybrid offerings conducted by MAM. By registering for any of our online and hybrid programs, you signify your acceptance of and obligation to the following terms and conditions (if you have objections to the following terms and conditions, you should not register for or attend the offering):
Using Zoom
MAM uses Zoom as our primary platform for our online meetings. Here are some video tutorials to help you understand how to use Zoom:
Participant controls in Zoom are typically in the lower left of the Zoom screen. Using the icons in the lower left corner of the Zoom screen, you can:
Typically in the upper right corner, you will see a choice to toggle between “speaker” and “gallery” view. “Speaker view” shows the active speaker. “Gallery view” tiles all of the meeting participants. We recommend using the gallery view for a more connected experience.
Once you are in the virtual practice space, please change your display name to your actual name (if its not already). This helps us check attendance and in relating to one another during the practice. When there is a waiting room, we will only allow folks into the Zoom space whose names we recognize from our registration list. If you’d like, you might add where you’re practicing from as well. Here are instructions on how to do that: https://www.techjunkie.com/zoom-change-name/
Please consider keeping your camera on during our meetings and practices. This really adds to the sense of community we would like to foster in our online offerings.
For privacy reasons and in order to engender a sense of safety within our community, please do not record any of our meetings. MAM will not record any meetings unless it has been expressly stated in the registration materials. We wish you a peaceful and meaningful practice experience!
Closed Captioning
We are able to offer closed captioning services during our online offerings upon request with 24 hours advance notice. You can read about how to use our closed captioning service via Zoom through the Rev.com website. Please contact us to request closed captioning.
