​
As meditators one of our main jobs is to move past our distractions and discover the natural state of our mind, which is inner peace. These obstructions rob us of our peace of mind and modern technology and convenience has made us more distracted than ever before.
In this series we will learn how we can develop our mind into a peaceful and tranquil state through meditation. When we are able to live our life in this peaceful state we can become present in our activities and hold our attention wherever we choose.

Learn how to touch your heart and move your mind. We often feel we are stagnant, staying the same year after year. In this course, we will see how to have meditation truly shift our thinking so that we change what we wish for, how we see ourselves and the world around us, and how we feel. We do not need to feel stuck-we just simply need to know how to change our mind with meditation. Specifically, we will look out how to use special meditations on taking and giving. These awaken our heart, and help us become the loving, compassionate person we are destined to be.
May 4: Seeing Kindness - We are celebrating Mother's day a week early with a Mother’s Appreciation Potluck after class. Feel free to bring a vegetarian dish or just come and enjoy some time with our community. Everyone is welcome.
