Why learn to meditate? Our lives today are bombarded with busyness and stress of all sorts. A sense of powerlessness and confusion seems rampant. There is no external peace or apparent "safe place to be." It is imperative then that we turn inward and find a way to access infinite peace and constant strength and courage to be with what is in each moment.
This curriculum is designed to awaken and open each person to their innate wholeness and true ground of Being. Each participant will establish a personal meditation practice and be expected to keep a meditation journal of his/her experiences. We will discuss the obstacles and distractions which are certain to appear and learn how to embrace and work with these as part of our practice. We will also contemplate teachings and poetry which will inspire us to cultivate more presence in our lives, particularly for the difficult places. We will discover the power of Silence and the benevolence of living a life from the inside out, inspired by the still voice within. We will cultivate together a "safe place to be" which cannot be altered or shaken by anything external, which is ever present and available within.
Please consider making a commitment to meditation and awakening to what is Real.
