|
Meditation labs support new and experienced meditators. Our "lab" format is conducive to gaining direct meditation experience under the guidance of long-time practitioners.
Labs will introduce meditation techniques, share relevant neuroscience, and have many short sessions of practice mixed with ample opportunity for Q&A. Guidance on home practice will also be offered. |

Program Description:
Learn Buddhist meditation fundamentals, popularized as mindfulness, in a relaxed and interactive environment that emphasizes alternating periods of instruction, practice, and Q&R (question and response). Our Meditation Labs are designed to take meditation from concept and theory into direct, lived experience. Instruction naturally emerges through practice and participants' questions. We’re all trying to understand how meditation can help us relax with our busy minds, our anxious bodies, and an unreliable world. Join us in the simple and honest act of observing the way things are — our doorway to insight, ease, and a deep contentment with life as we find it.
This lab will be informed by neuroscience, and will cover meditation posture, breathing and ways to focus the mind; as well as tips on developing a strong home practice, a bibliography of helpful books and more.
Tuition:

Registration: Advance registration is required and is now open. There is an enrollment deadline of Friday, March 5.
