Instructor: Ken McKeon.
Cost: $45, includes a vegetarian buffet lunch at 1 PM

Meditation is the process of self-discovery. On one level the meditation experience shows us the patterns of our lives—how we have carried on our emotional characteristics since childhood. But on another level it frees us from these patterns, making it easier for us to see our inner potentials. Tarthang Tulku, Gesture of Balance.

This half-day workshop provides basic instruction in meditation and allows time to discuss how to sustain or renew a regular meditation practice. You will learn how to sit and focus the mind in silent meditation. You will also learn techniques from Tibetan Yoga that help quiet mind and calm the senses. This workshop is a good introduction to the unique Nyingma approach to self-development, which emphasizes individual responsibility and freedom. Open to beginners and those wishing to renew a meditation practice.
