Join us for our offering of Vipassana or “Insight” Meditation. This practice emphasizes mindful attention to the breath, physical sensations, thoughts, and even emotions, to develop a loving awareness of one’s life experience. Loving-Kindness, Compassion, Joy and Equanimity practices are at times added to the meditation. It varies each session.

This is a shorter lunchtime session, yet still powerful for resetting and raising your vibrations. Come and allow yourself to be soothed and deeply rested. Be sure to register in advance so a yoga mat and props are set up for you and you can simply walk in, lie down and enjoy a calming meditation.

This 30-minute class varies each week as we explore different paths to meditation. This helps you to learn what techniques work best for you. You will learn to relieve stress and anxiety with mindfulness, guided visualizations, heart and chakra based practices, breathwork, relaxation, and guided rest (aka yoga nidra).

You can see the upcoming class themes and practices on my social media or in the weekly newsletter.

We begin with a short inspiration reading that you can choose to reflect on during your meditation. The meditation is 20 minutes and not guided, so you can choose whatever you like for your meditation during this session. You can listen to a guided meditation, focus on your breath, repeat a mantra, gaze at a candle flame, or whatever works best for you. A mindful bell is rung once at the beginning, once every 5 minutes to bring you back to center, and three times to close the meditation.

After the 20 minutes of meditation, we will have a mindful sharing of our experience with others in our community circle.

Our Theme is "Gratitude and Joy"
This full sound bath with not only crystal and Tibetan singing bowls, but many other instruments, like gong, chimes, monochord, drum, and more. We may do a few poses and/or seated meditation to prepare us for resting for a longer period of time. I'll create a journey of sound where you are completely submersed in the gentle, healing vibrations. This is a time of self-care, rest and relaxation as you prepare for the holiday season.

Bolsters, blankets and props are available but you are welcome to bring your own to make you as comfortable as possible.

Space is limited.

You carry all the ingredients to turn your existence into joy. Use them! Use them! —Hafiz

In this 4-week series, we learn how the practice of gratitude cultivates joy.
- Make gratitude and joy (well-being) a priority.
- Open the way for compassion, instead of judgment, to guide all interactions.
- Appreciate the good qualities of yourself and others.
- Continue to develop and extend appreciative joy in your life.

Meditations, exercises, and opportunities for reflection are presented. Sharing and questions are held at the end of the session.
