Monday Night Drop-in Class
6:30 - 7:15pm
IN-PERSON ONLY

The purpose of meditation is to make our mind calm and peaceful.

If our mind is peaceful, we will be free from worries and mental discomfort, and so we will experience true happiness; but if our mind is not peaceful, we will find it very difficult to be happy, even if we are living in the very best conditions.

In this class, we will learn how to meditate, the benefits of meditation, and various meditations that will help to calm the mind, reduce stress, and give rise to an experience of inner peace and wellbeing.

In this class, we deepen our understanding of and spend more time meditating on The Living Meditation Series by Tharpa Publications.

The Living Meditation Series provides a comprehensive introduction to meditation, offering guidance at all levels for developing and deepening your meditation practice. Learn meditations to relax body and mind, find inner peace, achieve mental clarity, and develop a kind and compassionate attitude towards others.

The series includes meditations as audio CDs and downloadable MP3s for your meditation practice.

Experience the daily peace that comes from establishing a regular meditation practice.
