The Fundamentals of Insight Meditation
IN PERSON: The Fundamentals of Insight Meditation - A Five-Week Course with Kate Siber
Thursday Evenings from 6:30 to 8:00 p.m.
September 30 and October 7, 14, 21 and 28
Mindfulness is the simple practice of paying attention to our present-moment experience with openness, curiosity and kindness. It is a powerful tool for calming the mind and body; cultivating wisdom, compassion and clarity; and freeing the heart.
In this five-week course, learn the basics of insight (vipassana) meditation. The class will include short guided meditations, talks, discussions, and plenty of time for questions and answers. We will practice mindfulness of the body and breathing and learn to cultivate awareness of emotions and thinking. We will also explore ways in which we can bring mindfulness into the fabric of daily life to support our own wellbeing and the wellbeing of others.
These ancient practices are also a profound way to deepen and clarify our understanding of ourselves and our relationship to the world. This course will include introductory talks on the basic teachings of the Buddha and how meditation can support a path of spiritual practice that ultimately leads to freedom from suffering and complete liberation of the heart.
All are welcome in this class, from those who have never tried meditation to seasoned practitioners who are looking to re-connect with “beginner’s mind.” The Dharma Center is a community of belonging. We aspire to be a refuge to people of all races, gender identities, sexual identities, socioeconomic backgrounds, political persuasions and belief systems. Your presence is welcome here.
This class will be held in person in the meditation hall at the Dharma Center. To care for the health of all, including our most vulnerable community members, we require that all participants are fully vaccinated against COVID-19 and agree to wear a mask during our time together.
COST: The fee for the course is on a sliding scale from $20 to $60. Scholarships are readily available online.
DATES: Thursday evenings from 6:30-8:00 p.m., September 30, October 7, 14, 21 and 28
