9:00 AM-12:00 PM 2024.03.09 Join us for this deeper practice from 9:00am to 12:00pmThe simple act of sitting in one place and not DOING something has been a gateway for liberation for millennia. There is a reason it “works”. Yet it is the willingness to show up and simply sit that transforms us. The reasons are not relevant. Neither is reading about it, thinking about it, or talking about it. To access this ancient avenue, one must experience it. In these morning meditation sessions, you will have an opportunity to experience an extended meditation in a supportive environment. We will sit as a group and the day will be structured around periods of sitting meditation and walking meditation. There will be some guided meditation. It will be mostly silent sitting and walking meditation. This is a great opportunity for beginners who want to experience longer meditation periods, as well as experienced meditators. There will time before (and during) the session on sitting posture and comfort for those who would like instruction. While all three leaders practice zen meditation, the structure will be somewhat modified. - Lovingkindness Meditation

10 | 11 | 12 - Explorations in Awareness by Don Oakley
6:30 PM-9:00 PM 2024.03.12 Explorations in Awareness by Don OakleySecond and Fourth Tuesday of each month through May 2024 6:30pm to 8:00pm Awareness is what notices all sensations, perceptions, thoughts, and feelings. In other words, everything. Enlightenment is the recognition of this spacious awareness as our essential beingness. It is not something we attain; it is something we recognize. It is not far away; it couldn’t be closer. We miss it because we tend to look for the obscure when it is hidden in the obvious. This series will explore the nature of our conceptualizing minds and point toward that essence that we truly are. The focus will be experiential and non-denominational; it will not be philosophical or dogmatic. Each session will include a brief guided meditation to settle the thinking mind, an extemporaneous discourse, and time for exploring questions.
