Meditation, Talk & Conversation

We continue to meet the 2nd & 4th Wednesdays of each month. This Wednesday we will meet for our usual 40 minute sitting, followed by a Dhamma talk (recorded) and friendly conversation concerning life & practice.

Our on-going series explores a broad range of meditation styles and practices once a month. This series supports an expanded repertoire of meditation skills and serves as a basis for on-going discussions concerning the nature, purpose, and potential of meditation practice.

September Retreat - Living with Change

Franciscan Spirituality Center:

Living Beautifully With Uncertainty and Change
September 14 (Saturday, 9 a.m.-4 p.m.)
Presenter: Sharon Lukert
Investment: $65, includes lunch
Registration deadline: September 1

Based on celebrated author Pema Chödrön’s book of the same name, this retreat will focus on the three commitments presented in Living Beautifully with Uncertainty and Change:  do no harm, take care of each other and embrace the world just as it is. Using guided meditation, self-reflection and the wise advice of this beloved teacher, we will explore how following these three commitments can open our hearts and minds, moving us toward compassion for ourselves and others. Our day will include periods of meditation, time for self-reflection and group discussion.

She has been a practicing Buddhist within a Tibetan lineage, studying under Pema Chödrön for more than 25 years.
