In mindfulness meditation, we bring our attention to the present moment and become aware of how we relate to our experience. Using a range of Buddhist meditation techniques, we will learn how to stay centered and open-hearted amidst the ups and downs of daily life. Group practice is a helpful support for developing and maintaining a daily meditation practice at home. Practitioners of all levels are welcome.
“In meditation, you take an unbiased approach. You let things be as they are, without judgment, and in that way you yourself learn to be."
- Chogyam Trungpa Rinpoche
