When we are more present in our day to day lives, we live with more peace and loving awareness.
How do we become more present? What does present moment loving awareness mean? How can I live more mindfully? How do I meditate on my own without an app?
We’ll explore these questions together in this 6 week workshop.
About the Group Workshop:
We are going to keep things super simple. I’ll teach you the Tibetan Buddhist practice “Shamatha,” or as more commonly known: mindfulness of breath meditation. I’ll guide you in a meditation at the beginning of each class, followed by some Q&A time. While I will have some topics planned to introduce you to every week, your questions are what will truly guide each session.
Each week I’ll give you optional journaling prompts, recommended reading, as well as guided meditations to help you create a daily practice.
The intention of this workshop is to help you understand mindfulness meditation so you can meditate on your own, without an app or a guide, and also to help you establish a consistent daily practice.
Who This is For:
This offering is for anyone new to meditation, or anyone who has only meditated with apps or guides. If you want to learn what meditation is and be able to guide yourself in practice, you might enjoy this.
I would also say that this isn’t exactly for those that are “just curious” about meditation or are looking to be convinced of the benefits. This is for those that are already eager and ready to begin meditating and perhaps just haven’t found the right opportunity yet.
All are welcome. This is not catered to any specific gender, age, location, or any other ego box. ALL are welcome :)
