Discover the Warrior Within — Meditation for Those Who Don’t But Want To
FREE
Fridays, 5:30 — 7 PM, April 6th – June 8th
Drop-ins Welcome. Come to all classes or just one!
Designed to Help Beginners Get Started & Help Others Jump Start a Languishing Practice.
The point of meditation is to learn to be happy but how do we create a beautiful life, filled with happiness, in the face of family troubles, illness, violence, poverty or fear? Look around. Do you know anyone who doesn’t face some of these "troubles" to some extent?
Through meditation, we can discover a warrior within. One of Joey’s favorite people, Lama Marut, a Buddhist teacher who has been regularly visiting Cape Ann for the past 7 years, calls this "…the big rage-in-the-cage smack-down with … the demons that undermine the happiness we all seek."
Explore how meditation can calm the mind & ease some medical conditions. Learn how to meditate & create mindfulness. Generate a consistent meditation practice. Learn to be happy. Take on what it means to be a spiritual warrior.
Classes will include short meditations and the opportunity to share your experiences – and get some help with your practice.
Don’t miss this wonderful opportunity to learn meditation from a secular and a spiritual point of view.
Please arrive on time so that you don’t run the risk of disturbing others during guided meditations, which may be in progress.
You do NOT have to be Buddhist to attend. Everyone is welcome.
