Description:
I’d like to invite you all to a weekly community meditation practice on Tuesday mornings 7:15a-8:15a.
The intention is to create a safe and supportive community space for learning and cultivating a regular meditation practice.
The group will be mainly a practice group, though it will include occasional short talks and practice instructions - according to and in response to the needs of the group.
This is intended for beginning meditators and those with an existing practice who are open to bringing a beginners mind - as we do to practice every time!)
The group will start with and build off of a foundation of mindfulness (concentration and awareness). We will continue to include practices of compassion familiarization, visualization, motivation, and contemplation.
Please bring a cushion or chair.
