The Power of Meditation - Talk
 
Meditation practice is far simpler, more fun, less esoteric and much more relevant to the wide-ranging situations we encounter in everyday life than we might imagine. Rather than an ornate, arcane set of instructions, meditation consists of practical tools to help deepen concentration, mindfulness and compassion
 
During this evening we'll discuss, and practice, these three tools. Suitable for both beginning and more experienced meditators.

Lovingkindess - Workshop
Lovingkindness is a meditation that cultivates our natural capacity for an open and loving heart. It is traditionally offered with meditations that enrich compassion and joy in the happiness of others, and also deepen our own sense of peace. These practices lead to the development of concentration, connection, fearlessness, and genuine happiness. 
 
Sharon Salzberg will introduce these teachings and support us in our own experience and cultivation of these qualities through direct instruction and guided meditation using classical techniques in a modern idiom. There will also be opportunities for questions. This workshop is suitable for both new and experienced meditators.

"Salzberg speaks from experience…an extraordinary teacher."
O,  The Oprah Magazine

"Salzberg gives us simple, practical, effective methods to have a real shot at [happiness]! She helps us to stop our running madly in the wrong direction, to see the real thing right there, waiting for our tender, mindful awareness to enjoy its free reality."
Robert Thurman
