Albany Meditation
If we train in meditation, our mind will gradually become more and more peaceful, and we will experience a purer and purer form of happiness. Eventually, we will be able to stay happy all the time, even in the most difficult circumstances. By training in meditation, we create an inner space and clarity that enables us to control our mind regardless of external circumstances. Each class consists of guided meditation, teachings, and time for Q&A. Everyone is welcome to drop in to any or all classes regardless of experience.

Eight Steps to Happiness
Thursdays · 7-8:30pm with Evelyn Williams
Move from a sense of isolation to connection. Based on the famous collection of wisdom “Eight Verses of Training the Mind”, the book Eight Steps to Happiness is a sequential presentation of meditations that allow us to develop our love and compassion in accessible and practical ways.
Within this course, we will examine how to practice these meditations amidst our busy life and see how to de-stress, improve our acceptance of ourself and others, and develop the courageous mind of compassion.
$10 per person. Drop-ins welcome
