The Buddha's Five Reflections for Embracing Reality (15 week class - 9/4-12/18) - With Matthew Daniell

Wed 09/04/19 - 7:00pm to 9:00pm

The Buddha taught five reflections that ask us to turn towards, contemplate and embrace deep truths of impermanence in our lives.  It points us to look at old age, sickness, death, and separation as gateways to living life more fully, wisely, and compassionately in the present moment.  By working directly with facts we often avoid, we will explore our practice as not only a calming-feel good part of our life, but one that helps us to face and hold difficult emotions more openly and wisely.  These reflections approached systematically and organically can be deeply empowering and transformative, not just for ourselves but for all those we touch that face these same natural aspects of being fully human.

We will use IMCN co-founder Larry Rosenberg's book 'Living in the Light of Death' as a study/practice guide for our inquiry.  The book is available in print and kindle reading formats.

This class runs from 9/4 - 12/18.  You must be registered to attend this class.  There are no drop-in classes.

Introduction to Insight Meditation (8 week class 9/5-10/24) - With Matthew Daniell

Thu 09/05/19 - 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 five 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.

Sign up

This class will run from September 5th - October 24th.  There are no drop-in classes; you must be pre-registered to attend.
