With a balance between theory and practice, this is an exciting introductory dive into the world of Buddhist meditation.

Together we will explore the history and evolution of Buddhist practice through a grounded and progressive sequence of meditation exercises. We will understand how, from a basis of virtue, one can begin to calm the mind and use it to systematically investigate reality.

We will awaken our innate sense of mindfulness through group activities, discussions, and movement- based practices. Ultimately, we will consolidate our understanding through seated meditation and explore the power of concentration (anapanasati), loving-kindness (metta), and insight practices (vipassana).

Each session offers participants a chance to connect with the community and together develop a felt sense of the magic of the present moment and the nature of mind. Through shared experiences, solid conceptual grounding, and a suite of home-practice techniques, participants will come to experientially understand that joy and wellbeing can be cultivated through discipline and commitment. Classes will consist of a lecture-style component in the beginning followed by a guided practice in the second half of class.

Everyone will receive a printed resource manual along with a workbook to complete weekly reflections and practice logs.

This 6-week beginner course is suitable for all levels – however students with PTSD or psychiatric conditions should consult their physician before attending.
