A monthly series about how meditation opens the path to overcome our deepest suffering.
Anger and attachment are two very dangerous minds. Allowing this pair of deluded minds to arise into our conscious mind results in immense harm to others (anger) and ourselves (attachment). When anger and attachment mix, they create the conditions for an even greater danger lurking in the shadows: addiction. It should be no surprise, then, that engaging in behavior that arises from a mind captured by the strong delusion of addiction brings harm to ourselves&nbsp;and&nbsp;others.
In this series, we will discuss aspects of the mind and learn meditations which will help us learn to develop peaceful, virtuous minds that begin to arise naturally and spontaneously no matter what situation we are experiencing. With each session, we learn more about how the mind works and how to meditate to cultivate minds that naturally oppose anger and attachment. We will also learn about the dangers of engaging in anger and attachment and discuss the benefits gained by meditating on virtuous minds that will block the harmful delusions from arising in our minds in the first place.
Everyone is welcome to attend this series whether you have been meditating for a long time or are brand new to meditation.

Love is patient, love is kind.
If we want to experience the patience and kindness of love we need to make an active effort. Through meditation, we can develop our ability to love others purely. In this series of classes we will learn meditations from The New Eight Steps to Happiness to remove the thoughts and delusions that block our love. When we have purer and purer love in our relationships, our love will reach more people. In short, with meditation, our love can grow! This in turn will solve many of our problems and make our relationships more harmonious.

We are often asked questions like, why should I meditate? And, how can I meditate when my life is busy? These are great questions. Our very mission is to help people see the power and simplicity of meditation through clear and practical instruction.
The fact is, meditation makes our mind calm and peaceful. When our mind is peaceful, we are free from worries and mental discomfort, and as a result we will experience true happiness. On the flip-side, if our mind is not peaceful, we will find it very difficult to be happy, even if we are living in the very best conditions.
By practicing 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.
Join us for this workshop as we look at simple ways to incorporate meditation into busy life.
Everyone is welcome!

In the heat of the summer - or really any time of the year - it is easy to lose our cool. Research has concluded that anger is a much more common human response to minor irritations when the temperature is high - but, we can learn to keep our cool!
Meditating on a mind of patience and developing our ability to communicate clearly and kindly produces good results:
With patience and compassionate communication we experience fewer problems.
Guarding our speech when everyone is tired and irritable is win-win.
Speaking with consideration for others and a good heart, rather than reactivity, cools things off.
Listening with a sense of importance to the experiences of others is a simple way to keep conversations from over heating.
Enjoy gathering with like-minded people for this special workshop - held in our beautiful, air-conditioned meditation room!
Everyone is welcome!
