Meditation & Stress Reduction
In recent years, we have witnessed remarkable material and technological progress, yet this has not been matched by a corresponding increase in human happiness or inner peace. Many of us still experience worry, anxiety, and uncertainty about the future.
In this three-week series, Gen Khedrub, a Western Buddhist monk for over 30 years, will explain how anyone can begin a meditation practice and learn practical methods for developing patience and inner peace. We will explore practical mindfulness methods, helpful ways of thinking, and guided meditations drawn from Buddha’s teachings.
These classes are designed to help us become calmer, more resilient, and increasingly fearless in the face of adversity and life’s uncertainties.
Weekly topics:
• May 5 – How to begin meditation
• May 12– The flexible mind of patience
• May 19 – How to deepen your experience of meditation
Course Tuition: $89
