7:00 pm to 7:30 pm Silent meditation with instructions

8:25 pm to 8:30 pm Close

By strengthening our ability to bring mindfulness to the moment-to-moment events in our lives, we bring to consciousness the unconscious thinking patterns that often govern our behavior. As we see and understand those patterns, we break free of their control over us. With this freedom comes joy and the ability to live our lives from a place of wisdom.

This ongoing sitting group at the East Bay Meditation Center is for anyone interested in learning more about mindfulness meditation and practicing this ancient discipline with others. The group will also incorporate mindful movement practices, which enhance and support our meditation practice.

Many thanks to the volunteers who generously offer their time every week to help make this group happen. If you would like to volunteer with our sangha, please send an email to: ebmc.friday.sangha@gmail.com.
