Introduction to meditation practices

Registration closes on February 4th.

The snow date for this workshop is February 19th.

Do you feel you’re a complete failure at meditation? Can your mind stay focused for a minute and not a minute more? Do you spend the whole time simply trying not to think about how many minutes have passed and how many more minutes you have to sit until you’re done? Do you wonder if you’re allowed to scratch your itches when you’re meditating? And, by the way, what the heck is a mantra and how often do you have to meditate before you can levitate?

And the ultimate question... how do we establish a daily meditation practice and what should it include?
This workshop will provide participants with the opportunity to learn a variety of meditation techniques which lead to the beginning of a deeper spiritual practice.

What to bring:
Your own lunch; beverages and dessert are provided. Wear comfortable clothing and bring a light blanket, a bandana and a notebook.

Please call (610) 285-6145 to listen to a recorded message if you suspect weather conditions are such that the class might be cancelled.

Fee: $100
“Every minute you perform hundreds of karmic actions, yet you are hardly conscious of any of them. In the stillness of meditation, however, you can listen to your mind, the source of all this activity. You learn to be aware of your actions to a far greater extent than ever before. This self-awareness leads to self-control, enabling you to master your karma rather than be mastered by it.”
— Lama Thubten Yeshe, "In Wisdom Energy"
