Meditations for World Peace
with Chris Taylor
A Drop-in Meditation Class Series
Without inner peace, outer peace is impossible. When we create peace within our own mind, the effects are far-reaching and bring benefit to everyone we meet. In this class, we are creating the causes to abide in a more peaceful world by cultivating our own inner peace, developing compassion, and increasing our wisdom.
Each class includes two guided meditations, a talk, and inspiring prayers for world peace.
This class is suitable for all levels of experience and everyone is welcome.
Sundays, 10:30 – 11:45pm
$15 per person
Included in all membership levels.
THURSDAY EVENINGS
Simply Meditate: Weekly Guided Meditations
with Steve Tuscher
The first stage of meditation is to stop distractions and make our mind clearer and more lucid. This can be accomplished by practicing a simple breathing meditation. Just by doing breathing meditation for 10 or 15 minutes each day, we will experience a calm, spacious feeling in the mind and many of our usual problems will fall away.
Join us each week for a different guided visualization and meditation. This is a wonderful series for beginners, or a good way to get your daily practice back on track. Each class is taught on a drop-in basis. Everyone is welcome!
Thursdays, 6 – 6:45pm
$10 per person
Included in all membership levels.
