Insight Meditation
On June 25, at 5:15 p.m., a meditation group will meet at the library.
What do you want most deeply? Seeing your life calmly and clearly helps answer this. Insight Meditation is a simple way to steady your mind, stop wandering in daydreams, and end the suffering of troubling thoughts.
Our group is a place to sit quietly in safety, supported by others; to allow understanding and compassion to arise; to encourage loving kindness and patience. We welcome those with no experience to advanced mediators, teens to seniors.
Give it a try. No registration is required. There is no fee. All are welcome.
