Befriending Your Mind, Loving Your Heart:Beginning Meditation Practice with Kindness
A Four-Week Class with Yong Oh
In Person Only
Wednesdays, October 1, 8, 22 and 29 from 5:30-6:45pm
Join us for this series exploring mindfulness and meditation with a particular emphasis on kindness as essential to the establishment of practice. We will explore the basics of Dharma as well as exploring practical ways to bring mindfulness into our lives, our work and our relationships. While this four-class series is ideal for beginning meditators who want to learn and establish a practice, it's also well suited for experienced practitioners looking to both deepen and begin again. There will be guided meditations, short talks, discussion and inquiry.
COST: The fee for this class is on a sliding scale from $50 to $125. Scholarships are readily available through our online system at rates of $25 or $10. If you would like a scholarship of $0, please simply reach out to the registrar. No questions asked.
The Dharma Center operates on the gift economy and the cost of the class is on a two-part sliding scale. The fee that you offer through the registration system supports our non-profit, which pays the costs of the building, utilities, website, administration, etc. In keeping with our 2,600-year-old tradition, the teacher of the class is not compensated but rather shares the teachings freely so that all who are interested. In turn, you are invited into the practice of dana, or generosity, a gift economy system that has been alive since the time of the Buddha. At any time, whether sporadically throughout the class or at the end, you are invited to make a donation or donations to support the teacher in continuing their valuable work. Donations in any amount whatsoever are gratefully received, and the practice of generosity is always elective.
DATES: Wednesday evenings from 5:30-6:45 p.m., October 1, 8 and 22 + 29
LOCATION: In person in the meditation hall at the Durango Dharma Center, 1800 East Third Avenue, Suite 109 in Durango
QUESTIONS: If you have questions, please reach out to the registrar, Kurt, at [email protected] or 970-426-8983.
