The Stillness Within: An Introduction to Meditation
TBA 9:30 am- 12:30 pm
The practice of meditation is the common thread among diverse traditions. Meditation flourishes in many forms, yet all forms lead to touching the ever-present stillness within. This half-day event will explore a variety of meditative techniques and forms, including sitting meditation, walking meditation, chanting, and contemplation.
Our intention is to provide a non-sectarian environment for people to experience the effects of meditation and be inspired to investigate further. It is also a wonderful way to refresh an on-going practice of meditation, if you already have one. The event will take place in a lovely country retreat setting outside of Sebastopol.
The morning will be led by Ginny Matthews, who brings 34 years of experience in the Zen tradition, and Laura Duggan, who has practiced meditation in the yogic tradition for 27 years.
Suggestion donation is $20; no one turned away for lack of funds.
