Grubumuz hakkında
Tucson Community Meditation Center (TCMC) is committed to providing a community that nurtures and supports the teaching and continuing practice of meditation and mindfulness in daily life. TCMC provides opportunities for anyone to learn and practice meditation from both local and visiting teachers. We also provide library resources, social events, as well as both residential and non-residential meditation retreats.
We are a non-sectarian organization and anyone with an interest in meditation is welcome. Our weekly classes and monthly retreats typically consist of a guided meditation followed by a talk on a meditation related topic. There is also an opportunity to ask questions.
We have been offering meditation related events in the Tucson community since the 1980's. We are relatively new to Meetup, so we don't always get a large number of RSVP's, however we also get attendees from our website and newsletter.
Most of our events are now meeting in person, but we still have some online events as well.
This group is suitable for both new and experienced meditators.

"Like a spring that flows naturally in the wilderness, True Love streams forth from the unfixated mind and body. "
The three skill sets which help us to experience this Present moment are: Concentration – Clarity – Equanimity .
Each month, we will work with a different sense gate or a combination of sense gates, in motion or stillness with variety of techniques to enrich our daily life practice. The class consists of guided meditations, and discussion. This approach to meditation is based on " The Five Ways " of Shinzen Young, which encourages the practice of creativity and Love.
All are welcome.
