The Art of Meditation
Learning and Deepening a Skillful Meditation Practice
"Meditation brings wisdom; lack of meditation leaves ignorance. Know well what leads you forward and what holds you back, and choose the path that leads to wisdom.
Meditation is a skill — one that develops with regular practice, patience, and skilled guidance. This weekly drop-in is a place to learn that skill from the ground up, or to deepen a practice you’ve already begun.
Each Tuesday, we practice together with guided mindfulness meditations, which explore techniques for working with the body, breath, and mind. We discuss how to bring what we learn on the cushion into the rest of our lives. The teaching draws from both traditional Buddhist and modern mindfulness-based approaches. There’s always time for questions.
Who may benefit: All levels. No prior experience needed.
