Sundays 10:30AM-12PM

Guided Meditations & Teachings

$15 / free for members

In this busy world, our experiences of happiness are fleeting and short-lived, while inner peace eludes us completely. Our negative states of mind, such as uncontrolled desire and anger, create endless problems for ourselves and others, and prevent us from fulfilling our deepest wishes. In the upcoming classes we will look at Buddhist teachings which offer clear and simple solutions to all our problems, guiding us to an oasis of peace within our own hearts.

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:
July 6 Understanding Anger with Lauri Stock
July 13 Controlling, not repressing anger with Gregg Lane
