Stittsville branch: The Meditation Toolkit; Mindfulness, Focus & Clarity

Meditation calms the mind, brings focus, and helps us develop inner strength and a sense of joy. To experience these benefits, we need to meditate effectively. In this six-class series, we’ll explore the essential building blocks of successful meditation - how to stay motivated, how to choose and focus on an object of meditation, how to improve mindfulness and concentration - and ultimately, how to experience the fruits of ancient Buddhist wisdom.

Each of these classes include two guided meditations and a practical talk. These are drop-in classes, so you can attend any number of them. Everyone is welcome!

Sept 3 ~ The Joy of Meditation

Sept 17 ~ Finding Your Point of Focus

The teacher for these classes is Buddhist nun Kelsang Lamden, who has practised and taught Buddhist meditation for many years. Lamden enjoys helping others gain their own experience of meditation.
