This four-week meditation series is a great way to touch in on what mindfulness really means, and practice meditation in a group setting. The Tibetan word for meditation is gom, or "to become familiar with." What we are becoming familiar with is ourselves, our thought process, our hearts. The benefits of practicing mindfulness meditation include stability, strength, clarity, and less reactivity in daily life. This series is an introduction to the practice. No experience necessary, all are welcome. 

• Week 1: Introduction to Mindfulness Meditation, 20 minute sit, discussion

• Week 2: Expanding the View: on Gentleness, 20 minute sit, discussion

• Week 3: Expanding  the View: on Precision, 20 minute sit, discussion

• Week 4: Topic: Expanding the View: on Letting Go, 20 minute sit, discussion
