Meditation in Everyday Life
with Sarah Lipton & Nikki Jiraff
October 4th—November 1st
By making a deep connection to the present moment and understanding our mind through the practice of meditation, we learn to make friends with ourselves.
This course offers the meditator’s instruction manual. Learn how to overcome obstacles to strengthening your mind in this 5-week course. By the end you’ll be equipped with tools to establish your own meditation practice.
Experience what happens when we stop avoiding ourselves and the present moment and practice simply being with whatever is going on in our lives. Learn to cultivate courage and stability in the daily complexities of jobs, responsibilities, relationships, and the everyday desires, concerns and uncertainties we all face. This is the 1st class in the Way of Shambhala curriculum. It offers a glimpse of the Shambhala vision of an enlightened society created through mindfulness-awareness meditation, showcasing how the stability and wisdom cultivated through this practice can expand to benefit the world around us.
