Details

Explore the healing power of Buddhist meditation in this afternoon retreat. We'll focus on a meditation called "taking and giving" -- one of the most powerful methods for healing our mental and physical illness, increasing our love, peace and joy, and strengthing our mental power and concentration. Taking and giving meditation is especially helpful in situations where we may otherwise feel powerless to help ourselves or others. 

We will observe silence during our brief breaks to enhance our meditative experience. Join us at the end for an informal Q&A and light refreshments. Suitable for both beginners and seasoned practitioners, each session will include practical instruction and guided meditation. Everyone is welcome!
