As you start settling into the New Year, you may be looking at some of the habits you might want to change or develop. How about a meditation habit? We all know there are many meditation apps available. However, we also all know the best way to learn a skill is to develop it in a supportive environment with like-minded people and instructors who can offer feedback and answer questions.
Join us for this special half day course. Gen Kelsang Wangpo, the Resident Teacher at Kadampa Meditation Center Phoenix, will give instructions over the course of two sessions, sharing what meditation is and how we can develop a practice. Between sessions, there will be opportunities to meet other new and seasoned meditators and ask questions. There will also be several guided meditations during the course.
Join us so that you can start the year with everything you need for your meditation practice.
If you are interested in gaining a deeper experience of meditation, this class pairs perfectly with our events on Feb 8 - Basics of Buddhism: Everything you Need to know for a meditation practice and April 12 - Concentration, Meditation, and Inner Transformation: A Learn to Meditate Class.
