Explore the inner realms of meditations during this monthly offering where we will explore various meditation and breathing practices. We will dive into a variety of teachings around meditation and mindfulness while embodying practices to deepen our inner awareness. Dave will share what he has learned after many decades of practice as well as offer support for anyone looking to get started on the journey of meditation. Experienced meditators looking for community are welcome to join in on these sessions.Dave found himself embarking on a sober lifestyle as a young person (twenty-year-old) in 1983 which led to him discovering meditation around this same time. He has never looked back and in 1987 found the teachings in The Miracle of Mindfulness by Thich Nhat Hanh which planted the seeds of mindfulness. During the late 1980’s Dave continued exploring deeper dimensions of meditation, trying flotation tanks as well as many other practices for the inward journey. In the 1990s spiritual exploration found him studying books like Black Elk Speaks and the writings of the Dali Lama. This led to looking at the world in a more interconnected peaceful way. Then Jack Kornfield and Jon Kabat-Zin writings came along and by the early 2000s Dave was on a yoga mat looking at the meditative components of a yoga practice. Dave found an awesome teacher turned friend in Rolf Gates who wrote extensively on yoga, meditation, and mindfulness. Sadhguru Jagadish "Jaggi" Veshudev opened the doors to an understanding of the impact of our inner-energies while traveling the realms of a meditative mind.
