INTRODUCTION TO SHAMATA MEDITATION: A RETREAT DAY FOR BEGINNERS
This is an excellent class for beginning meditators. Nothing has a more beneficial effect on our health and happiness than formless meditation practice. Western research now proves this fact that Eastern folks have long known. Everything we are and do is influenced in a positive way from daily meditation practice. Shamata (Sanskrit word meaning calm-abiding) meditation comes from the vast array of vital and profound Tibetan practices. Come and learn this very effective practice and consider the benefit it will bring to you. This retreat also includes walking meditation instruction and practice. Wear comfortable clothing. No shorts or short skirts. Bring a bag lunch. There is no microwave. Beverages and dessert will be provided.
