This is a powerful practice because it works on all layers of the human system—body, nervous system, emotions, subconscious mind, and energy—without overwhelming people.

Concentration is key to successful meditation and inner transformation. Join us for a one-and-half-day retreat with international teacher Gen Kelsang Ananda who will guide you in establishing or strengthening the practice of this mental capacity. Because a distracted mind cannot focus properly, it misses out on the countless benefits of single-pointed meditation and contemplation. These include: * access to calm, smooth and relaxed states of mind that will permeate into our daily life. * increased protection from agitated minds such as irritation, anger, craving or discontentment * a mental suppleness or serviceability that allows progress and increases confidence in our spiritual practice This course is suitable both all levels, from complete beginners to advanced practitioners. Each session can be attended on a drop-in basis. NOTE : The hours mentioned above are not correct exact information on schedule and reservation [here](https://athensmeditation.mmm.page/concentrationweekender) *Gen Kelsang Ananda is an international teacher of Kadampa meditation* *and long-tome student of Geshe Kelsang Gyatso*. *He conveys Buddha’s teachings in a clear, practical* *and light-hearted way.*

📅Την Κυριακή 19 Απριλίου, ώρα 16:00 και σχεδόν στην καρδιά της Άνοιξης, ξεκινάμε από την μονή Αγίου Ιωάννη Κυνηγού στην Αγία Παρασκευή για να πιάσουμε μία από τις κορυφές του Υμηττού. Την κορυφή Κορακοβούνι! 🎋 Πρόκειται για μία όμορφη ημικυκλική διαδρομή 8,5 χιλιομέτρων στον Βόρειο Υμηττό, με αρκετές εναλλαγές τοπίων αλλά και γεμάτη με εντυπωσιακά σημεία θέας προς το λεκανοπέδιο! (Δείτε τις φώτο πιο κάτω) Στη πορεία μας θα συναντήσουμε και το περιβόητο σπήλαιο λιονταριού! Το όνομα του σπηλαίου δεν είναι τυχαίο. Περισσότερες λεπτομέρειες στο σημείο. ⚠️ ΠΡΟΣΟΧΗ: Η διαδρομή αν και σχετικά μικρής απόστασης ΔΕΝ λογίζεται ως εύκολη ή κατάλληλη για αρχάριους. Το πρώτο μισό της διαδρομής έχει ανοδική κλίση, ή όποια σε διάφορα σημεία αυξομειώνεται. Το δεύτερο μισό έχει και κάποια σημεία με έντονη καθοδική κλίση. Επίσης το 80% της διαδρομής είναι μέσα από μονοπάτια. ⌛ Η διάρκεια της μετρήθηκε επί τόπου με scouting στις 3 ώρες, ωστόσο για όσους επιχειρήσουν να το τολμήσουν, ας γνωρίζουν ότι ο ρυθμός θα είναι απόλυτα χαλαρός, με μπόλικα διαλείμματα και χωρίς πίεση χρόνου. Γι αυτό επιβάλεται να πάρετε μαζί σας και φακό. Διότι δεν ξέρουμε αν οι 3 ώρες γίνουν 5 στο τέλος λόγω μείωσης του ρυθμού βάδισης ή της αύξησης αριθμού στάσεων! 🤷🏻‍♂️ Εκτός από φακό, μαζί σας πρέπει να έχετε και: 💧 ΤΟΥΛΑΧΙΣΤΟΝ 1 λίτρο νερό. Ιδανικά 1,5. 👟Αντιολισθητικά υποδήματα 🧢 Καπέλο (προαιρετικά) 🦯 Όσοι έχουν μπατόν ας τα φέρουν θα φανούν χρήσιμα. Και όσοι δεν έχουν, αν σκέφτονται να αγοράσουν, μάλλον τώρα είναι η κατάλληλη ώρα. Δεν θα το μετανιώσουν. Ειδικά όσοι δεν έχουν πολύ καλή φυσική κατάσταση. 😎 Επίσης απαραίτητο κρίνεται: 😋Την προηγούμενη μέρα να έχετε φάει καλά. 🍌🥜 Την ημέρα της δραστηριότητας να έχετε κομμένα νύχια ποδιών (ναι!) και μαζί σας ενεργειακά σνακ όπως, μπανάνες, σταφίδες, ξηρούς καρπούς ή έστω ενεργειακές μπάρες. 🗺️ Εδώ είναι το ακριβές [στίγμα συνάντησης](https://maps.app.goo.gl/68xZp6Y8rpc56eJg9) 👈🏻 ✍🏻 Συμμετοχή μπορείτε να δηλώσετε μόνο μέσα από αυτή [την φόρμα](https://luma.com/ktax0bjb)[ ](https://luma.com/6rnovtzz)👈🏻

We have never until now featured Zinfandel, the ubiquitous California grape with the Dublin Wine MeetUp Group. At its best Zinfandel, is rich, voluptuous, with great depth of red and blue fruits. Jammy and hedonistic are common descriptions Each person should bring one bottle of an quality Zinfandel wine; be creative and quality conscious, with some bottle age if possible. Turley, Martinelli, Biale, Seghesio, Ridge, Hartford Bedrock, Carlisle, Klinker Brick, Frog's Leap, and anything from the Rockpile vineyard is likely to be very good to great. The Prisoner wines began as a Zinfandel blend. Also bring a protein based appetizer to share and **a wine glass for your personal use.** Cheese and meats are best with these wines. There will be a gas grill behind the clubhouse to grill. We’ll gather at the Oak Creek clubhouse, where the Dublin Wine Group, hosted by Thom and supported by Timothy, will take it from there. Come join us for a fantastic mix of great wine, food, and even better company! The evening wraps up at 10 PM. **Please pay $10 at the door per person to cover the cost of the room rental and for the tableware, napkins, water and cups.** 🍷 **6:46 PM – Dublin Wine Group Social** 📍 **Oak Creek Clubhouse** **9005 Oak Village Blvd, Lewis Center, OH 43035** View on Maps (https://maps.apple.com/place?address=9005%20Oak%20Village%20Blvd,%20Lewis%20Center,%20OH%20%2043035,%20United%20States&coordinate=40.158011,-83.003901&name=Oak%20Creek%20at%20Polaris&place-id=I8D83B59D441EDD9B&map=explore)
