Current Series: Transform Your Life with Meditation
Tonight’s topic: Become a force of good through building integrity and kindness

It's never too late to create new, healthy habits! Everyone can meditate, and by learning to meditate we can transform our life from the inside. Meditation is simply learning how to direct our thoughts to ways of thinking and being that bring about a happy, peaceful feeling. Even if our inner world feels crowded and cramped, and we have a lot of stress or anxiety, we can benefit from meditation. In this series, we will learn the basics of meditation, accessible, down-to-earth instructions on how to deal with mental busyness and stress, and how to start moving in an encouraging and positive direction. We will leave feeling energized that, even with a busy lifestyle, we can incorporate new ways of thinking and being that uplift us and improve our relationships.

Class Dates and Topics:
August 19: How to develop and maintain a peaceful mind
August 26: Become a force of good through building integrity and kindness
September 2: Staying balanced and grounded in an unbalanced world

General Information:
Our weekly meetings are on a drop in basis, and we have a really nice group of people attending regularly. A trademark of the meditations we emphasize is the ease in which they can be used both “on the cushion” and in our daily lives. Each meeting will include practical, guided meditation, and a talk on how to reduce stress and other problems encountered in daily life, and how to increase mental and physical well-being. There will also be plenty of time to discuss the ideas presented.

Although the meditations and talks are based on Kadampa Buddhist philosophy, you don't need to be a Buddhist to enjoy this group. Kadampa Buddhism stresses a spiritual path of individual transformation and to look within ourselves for the inner peace and happiness we seek. Everyone is welcome. We hope to see you soon!
