This day-long workshop unpacks Michael's "Stack Model" for meditation.
Ever wonder where you're at in your meditation practice, and what might be the next step forward? Developed by Michael Taft, the "Stack Model" is provides a clear and detailed road map for your personal meditation practice. Particularly focused on vipassana/vipashyana, and influenced by the work of Shinzen Young as well as other great teachers, the Stack Model comprises four stages that meditators work through on their way to deep awakening. While clear about the limitations of meditation road maps, Michael will show you how Hacking the Stack can be clarifying and beneficial on your journey. Class consists of both lecture and meditation practice—suitable for beginners and old dogs alike.
