Live Online Zoom Course - Meets Every Thursday
Are you interested in learning meditation to experience more awareness and compassion? Would you like to connect with others who are also interested in meditating and growing together through the wisdom of Buddhist practices and teachings?
Beginning in September, we are offering an opportunity to support you in exploring these questions through our Stepping into Meditation and Community course. During this course, we will provide a framework for foundational Buddhist practices and dharma while also inviting participants into the warmth of sangha (community).
Through inner exploration and engaging with community in reflection and discussion, you will learn accessible, time-tested Tibetan Buddhist practices and dharma teachings that will support you in awakening to deeper peace, happiness, and compassion in three spheres of engagement in your life: personal, community, and the world.
Although the content and meditation practices in this course are grounded in Buddhism, you do not need to be a Buddhist to enjoy or benefit from the content of this course. This course is a great starting point if you are:
-New to meditation
-Curious about or new to Buddhism
-Wanting to create the habit of a daily meditation practice, supported by others doing the same
-A more experienced Buddhist practitioner looking to meditate and contemplate the Dharma with others
-Wanting to connect with the Namchak Sangha
*New Format*
Based on direct feedback from our sangha, this course is now designed as a two-part series to allow more time to learn and connect. Each part lasts for seven weeks, with the option to meet as a Learning Circle upon completion of part one and before part two begins. This registration is for Part 1 only. After completing Part 1, you can decide whether to continue to Part 2: Deepening into Meditation and Community.
Details – Online via Zoom
We will meet for seven consecutive 90-minute weekly sessions on Thursdays. Each session will be led by Namchak facilitator Emily Ballentine. We will have participants joining online from all over the country (and possibly world!) for a sweet sangha experience.
