Lovingkindness and Mindfulness Meditation
·OnlineOnlineJoin us every Thursday night to discover new experiences and new realms residing within and around us, guided by longtime meditator Paul Jaffe. Relieve stress, and gain insights, and generate positive loving states.
We are a community supporting each other in a journey of expanding awareness and compassion. Our creative explorations are rooted in Buddhist teachings that still have startling relevance to life today.
We have a mix of regular attendees and occasional guests, but also welcome new members, whether you are an experienced meditator, have never meditated before, or especially if you have tried meditation before without success. This is a chance to develop a more subtle understanding of the whole adventure of meditation, unbinding yourself from unconscious assumptions and compulsions.
We explore different styles of meditation, but usually returning to Lovingkindness and the breath as a doorway into expanded awareness. Each session includes teaching, discussion, and meditation. Bring your questions on meditation!
Classes are currently being held remotely via Zoom. We also hold periodic in-person retreats in the Northern New Jersey or Upstate New York area.
When: Thursday nights, 7:30--9:00 PM
Zoom Link: Provided upon event registration.
Contribution: Supporting teachers of the Buddha's teachings through donations is customary, but we want to ensure that anyone can join us. No one will be turned away for lack of funds, and we invite donations of any amount according to your means.
Materials: You can access the opening & closing chants in English & Pali language here.
How to Register: Please register here on meetup.
