About this event

Basics of Meditation

Four Saturdays
September 6, 13, 20, 27
10 - 11:30am

Led by Laura Liss

This class is offered to help meditation practice become more accessible - welcoming beginners, those wanting to get back to meditating, and anyone who wants to refresh their practice.

The basics will include establishing a sitting posture, lightly guided practice, and gentle inquiry. As we cultivate our natural capacity to observe direct experience through the Four Foundations of Mindfulness (the body, feelings, mind and phenomena), we'll also explore the motivation and dedication of practice for the benefit of all beings, loving kindness meditation, and the significance of the three jewels - Buddha, dharma and sangha.

All interested practitioners are welcome!
Registration is required and space is limited. This class will be held in person.
There is no fee for this class and dana will be accepted.
