Weekday Class:
Introduction to Insight Meditation (7 week series - 10/25-12/13)
- With Ted Jones
Thu 10/25/18 - 7:00pm to 8:30pm
Insight meditation is a time tested method of mind training that enables us to change our relationship to each moment’s experience, and thus our lives. In this seven week series we will systematically explore how to calm and steady the mind and see with more clarity into our lives. As we strengthen this capacity we begin to move from suffering and reactivity to responsiveness, freshness and ease. We learn to touch and live in the mindful moment. Although this series is designed for beginners, all are welcome and students may choose to repeat this series as new material will be introduced each time.
This class series runs from 10/25-12/13 (no class on 11/22)
