Vancouver Meditation Meetup (VMM) is an education hub formed to help Vancouverites explore the many different styles of meditation available in Vancouver and to inform members as to any upcoming spiritual and personal development events happening in the city.
Western and Eastern Styles are all offered as long as the instructor and specific practice has a solid training lineage.
Meditation is not just a static process of sitting but a dynamic process of becoming aware of how we are moving, experiencing and living life.
The group is now organized by Brian Ruhe, a Theravada Buddhist meditation teacher and author of the book "Freeing the Buddha," with classes in night school centres. Website: www.theravada.ca .
We will explore various ways to meditate to help us understand what we are experiencing physically, emotionally, spiritually and cognitively and to help us decrease stress in the city.
It is about becoming more aware and enjoying life along the way.
Come join us on the journey :)
