Classes
Mindfulness Meditation
Mindfulness Meditation meets for 10 weeks at a time as a series. Each series has a theme and when you sign up you sign up for the entire series.
We meet online on Zoom for one hour, once a week during the ten weeks. We are currently booking the Winter 2025 series that begins on January 15/16. To book go here.
In each class we practice meditation together, listen to little talks, share experiences and insights, and ask questions that arise. Each meditation is guided and each has a focus—concentration on the breath, or open awareness of experience as it arises and fades away, or awareness of feeling tone, equanimity, or compassion among many.
The little talks—about 15 minutes long— address themes such as being kind even when we don’t feel like it, stepping back to see the big picture before we jump to conclusions or get snagged in our beliefs, or paying attention even when our mind wants to do something else among many themes.
We practice meditation not for its own sake. We practice so that we can be happier in our lives even when things go wrong as they surely will.
Join us. We look forward to seeing you. Book a class series here.
Beginning Mindfulness Meditation
Meditation is an essential practice when wanting to live mindfully. We can’t think or feel our way mindfully unless we practice. It’s like learning anything—how to play the piano, or write, or run a marathon— we have to train in order to do it. Practice is everything. In this class we practice settling into the body, focusing on the breath, and being with what is arising without grasping it or pushing it away. We practice kindness in meditation to help us to be with ourselves, with difficult people, or people we just don’t like. We invite curiosity and openness to our journey. We take it a step at a time. This class meets virtually on Zoom for one hour, once a week, for six weeks and begins periodically. If you are interested or would like more information, please contact me.
