Finding Calm in a Chaotic World
January 7 – February 4
Tuesdays | 6 – 7:30 pm
Moment by moment, we experience everything in our world through our mind. Yet we generally don’t know what our mind really is and how it functions. In this series, we will get to know our mind on a deeper level and learn to experience more and more peaceful, calm states of mind, which is our natural state when distractions subside. By improving our concentration, we can then choose to focus on the thoughts or states of mind that bring peace and clarity into our daily life. We will gain the ability to stop concentrating on the familiar thoughts and mental patterns that normally disturb our peace of mind.
Class includes a guided meditation to settle the mind, instructions from Buddha’s teachings, a second meditation that applies to that teaching followed by a brief time for paired discussion and Q & A.
