Classes
Mindfulness Meditation
Mindfulness Meditation series meet throughout the year. Each series has a theme and when you register, you sign up for the entire series.
Each series meets online on Zoom for one hour, once a week until the series ends. We are currently booking the Spring 2025 series that begins on March 26/27, 2025. To book go here.
In each session we practice meditation together, listen to little talks, share experiences and insights, and ask questions. Each meditation is guided and each has a focus—concentration on the breath, or open awareness of experience as it arises, is present, and passes away, or awareness of feeling tone, or awareness of loving kindness, among others.
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.
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. I look forward to seeing you. Book a class series here.
Beginning Mindfulness Meditation
Meditation is the essential practice to develop mindfulness. Mindfulness is key to living happily.
We can’t think or feel our way to mindfulness, we have to practice it through meditation. The more we practice, the more mindful we are. The more mindful we are, the happier we are.
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 or pushing it away. We learn how to pay attention. We practice being kind to ourselves, to difficult people, and to people we just don’t like so that ill will, anger, and dislike cannot crowd out our happiness. We invite curiosity and openness to our journey. We are enthusiastic and 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.
