Beginning Your Meditation Practice: Exploring Diverse Meditation Modalities

August 12, 2018 @ 10:00 am - 4:30 pm

Beginning Your Meditation Practice:

Exploring Diverse Meditation Modalities

Open to All

with Arisika Razak

Today I wake up empty and frightened. Don’t go to the study and read a book. There are a thousand ways to kneel and kiss the ground . . . a thousand ways to go home again. – Rumi

The Buddha taught that meditation could be done sitting, standing or lying down; it could take place in monasteries, community sanghas, natural settings, or the home. Meditation may include walking, movement, visualizations, or chanting. Join us as we explore diverse meditative processes to help identify what most truly resonates in our hearts and minds, including guidelines for beginning and maintaining our practice.
