Basics of Meditation
Basics of Meditation
Four Saturdays: April 8, 15, 22 and 29
10 - 11:30am
Led by Laura Liss
This class series is being offered to help meditation practice become more accessible and is for people who are curious about meditation, new to the sangha, and/or wanting to revitalize their practice.
The basics will include grounding posture, lightly guided practice and gentle inquiry. As we cultivate our natural capacity to observe direct experience through the Four Foundations of Mindfulness (the body, feelings, mind and phenomena), we'll also explore the motivation and dedication of practice which is to benefit all beings, loving kindness meditation, and the significance of the three jewels - Buddha, dharma and sangha.
All interested practitioners are welcome!
There is no fee for this class and dana will be gratefully accepted.
Registration is required and space is limited. This class will be held in person.
