Mindfulness Meditation 
No classes July and August Beginning September 14, 2010: Tuesdays 7 to 9pm with Gwen Robart The Noble Eight Fold Path Mindfulness practice finds its completion in wisdom and ever deepening heart opening. This series is somewhat planned for those who have some meditation experience and wish to deepen their understanding and practice. We also welcome those who are new to meditation. And it is also intended for those who have completed the introductory calm and Clear course. Depending on the experience of attendees, expect sits of 30 minutes or more. In Winter 2010 we will focus on the Eight-Fold Noble Path. We encourage students to familiarize themselves with this teaching by either using the internet or an author of their choosing. We will reference Thic Nhat Han's text “The Heart of the Buddha’s Teachings”. All are welcome to join, no prior meditation experience needed, only the willingness to learn. Learning meditation is not a linear process, but rather an individual synthesis of experience. So we give you some techniques, ask some questions and share. The structure is open and will develop content depending on those who come more regularly. We generally start the class with a connected series of sitting, walking/standing and sitting meditation. This helps build a bridge between the contemplative act of meditation and our daily activities. Each class will include time for practice as well as discussion and learning. Practice, including sitting or walking meditation makes up at least half or more of class time.
