Introduction to Meditation

In this three session program, we’ll explore the ways meditation can be a powerful tool for exploring the spiritual path. While intended for beginners, experienced meditators may enjoy the overview of different types of meditation.

Among the different types of meditation we’ll explore will be concentration practices such as mantra or object based meditation, insight practices such as mindfulness or lovingkindness, open practices such as centering prayer, zen meditation (shikantaza), and if we have time some practices that facilitate a nondual or awakening experience. Particular attention will be paid to mindfulness, centering prayer, and lovingkindness meditation.

Facilitators: Dan Banmann, Bob Campbell, Pat Boehm. Cost: $45.
