Meditation group is led by Joe Gilbert. These sessions are FREE and open to anybody who wants to share the practice of meditation with others in a welcoming environment.
Sessions often begin with a poetry reading followed by 10 minutes of shared silence. We then review mindful sharing guidelines before opening the group for reflections and questions. The group closes with a guided loving-kindness practice.
During our time together, possible topics of exploration may be:
-How to start and maintain a meditation practice
-Common hindrances to meditation practice and how to work skillfully with them
-Mindfulness of the body, feelings, and thoughts
-Insights into suffering, impermanence, and non-self
-Loving-kindness, compassion, equanimity, gratitude, and joy
No need to register - just show up! Please email JOE if you have any questions (joe@gilbertmeditation.com). We meet outdoors on the covered front porch or in the backyard, so dress comfortably for the weather.
