 INTRODUCTION TO MEDITATION
This course will resume in September.

Meditation Teacher: Gwen Sears
Cost: $180           Start Date: September, 2013
Tuesday, 7-9 p.m. MINDFULNESS MEDITATION: Living Mindfully
 Mindfulness meditation is a practice that teaches us how to find peace of mind and ease of being amidst the stresses and challenges of everyday life. Mindfulness practice cultivates the ability to be present and aware, and to live one’s life from a place of clear and wise intention, giving rise to an inner freedom and happiness independent of life’s conditions. This 16-week course will provide instruction and teachings to support the practice of living mindfully, with the focus on intention and ethics: wise action, wise speech, wise relationship. This course is suitable for anyone who has completed the 8-week Introduction to Meditation course, or has experience with mindfulness practice, and would like to deepen their understanding and practice.                           

Teacher: Susan Child.

This course is suitable for anyone who has a solid foundation in meditation, a regular sitting practice, and would like to deepen their practice.
