Open to all

with Melvin Escobar

This class series will explore The Five Obstacles (Hindrances) to mindfulness meditation and ways to work with them. Buddhist teachings will be interwoven with contemporary psychological frameworks and informed by an understanding of structural oppression. Through talks, interactive exercises, stationary and gentle moving meditation, and recommendations for home practice, participants will gain awareness and how to use them as gateways to deepen our practice.
