About this Event

This class is for those wanting support in establishing a daily meditation practice, deepening practice, and becoming more loving.

In this introductory class, the basic instruction in insight meditation will be given sequentially, beginning with a focus on mindfulness of breathing, followed by mindfulness of the body, of emotions, of thoughts, of mind and of the application of mindfulness in daily life and on retreat. This 6-session class is appropriate for beginners as well as for experienced meditators who want to refresh the fundamentals of their practice. In this class you will learn to:

  • Develop a healthier relationship with your thoughts.
  • Develop more balance with your emotions.
  • Be more in touch with your body and mind.
  • Increase your capacity to be loving and kind.
  • Be more peaceful.

This class will provide students with a relaxed and supportive environment. Doug will tailor his instruction to meet the specific needs of participants. In a step-by-step process, students will learn the foundations of insight meditation and basic mindfulness practice. Students will be provided with an at-home practice guide and instructions to expand mindfulness into everyday life. Practice outside of class is an important part of the learning process.
