 Meditaion In Everyday Life
with & Jose Rodriguez & Jean Gunner
February 13 / 7:00 PM - March 20 / 9:00 PM
The first in a series of courses, the Meditation in Everyday Life course is designed to provide students with the intoductory tools and teachings for working with meditation in everyday life. With simple instructions and support, mindfulness meditation practice can become part of our lives, bringing great stability, strength and clarity.
We experience what happens when we stop avoiding ourselves and the present momentand simply being with whatever is going on in our lives. We learn to cultivate courage and stability in the daily complexities of jobs, responsibilities, relationships, and the everyday desires, concerns and uncerainties we all face.
The course combines recorded talks by senior teachers along with meditation instruction and discussion facilitated by authorized staff.
