Sundays 10:30AM-12PM

Guided Meditations & Teachings

$15 / free for members

In this series we will explore Buddha's profound insights on how our minds work and how we can use it to accomplish what we really want. We will gain a deeper understanding of meditation - how it works to create happiness and what parts of the mind we need to develop for our meditations to be effective.

Each class includes a short breathing meditation, a practical teaching, a guided meditation on the class topic, and time for discussion and Q&A. You do not need to be Buddhist to benefit from these meditations. Everyone is welcome.

Class topics:
Aug 24: Aspiration- We do what we want to do
Aug 31: Finding our Object of Meditation
Sept 7: The Joy of Concentration
Sept 14: Growing our own Wisdom

Monthly Potluck:
We have a monthly potluck after class on the last Sunday of the month. Bring a potluck item, or just come with your appetite. Everyone's invited!

"Happiness and suffering are feelings – parts of our mind – and so their main causes are not to be found outside the mind. If we really want to be truly happy and free from suffering we must improve our understanding of the mind.”
