buddha Intermediate Mindfulness Meditation
A Five-Week Class with Marlena deCarion & Trip Weil
Starts Feb. 27, 2012

This class will offer a deepening exploration of the practice of Insight Meditation. We will explore the Buddha’s teachings on awareness of body, emotions, thoughts, and awareness itself. A strong emphasis will be placed on recognizing and dwelling in the natural awareness that lies at the heart of all experience. This class is intended for those who have an established meditation practice and are looking to deepen their practice in a group context. Each session will include guided meditation instruction, talks on the Buddha’s teachings, and time for questions and dialogue to explore the application of the teachings and practice in the participants’ daily life and experience. People of all ethnic backgrounds, sexual orientations, and gender identities are welcome.
