Weekly practice to meet on Tuesday and Thursday nights from 7-8:30. This will be an opportunity to practice mindfulness meditation. While this practice is aimed at beginners, this practice is open to anyone and all are welcome to participate.
Sitting will begin between 7 and 7:30 initially, to allow new folks to receive basic instruction. Following a 20 minute sit, we will share a reading from a recognized dharma teacher with discussion to follow. While much of the practice and the terminology are rooted in Buddhist practice, this is intended to be a secular, non-religious practice. All are welcome.
