February Series: Blue Sky Mind

Mondays · 7-8:30pm with Sarah Schaffer

Our mind is like the boundless, clear blue sky. Our mental busyness, painful emotions, judgments, and so on are like clouds. Through training, we can allow them to dissolve, revealing the limitless potential within. Meditation on the peaceful, vast space of our own mind is fantastic. It is accessible for beginners and deeply profound for experienced practitioners and allows each meditator to enjoy the quiet and stillness of meditative concentration. Over these four weeks, we will look at skills on how to improve the focus of our meditation, make our meditations more powerful, and make a lasting positive inner change. Everyone is welcome!

$10 per person. Drop-ins welcome
