Meditation & Mindfull-ness Evenings |
| In the West, we think, do, and go so much, we sometimes forget to simply be. Meditation & Mindfulness Circles serve to bring us together with others who wish to find and share peace in life. Meditation moves us out of our minds into the centre of being, and help to integrate mind, body, emotions, and spirit. Through meditation we can experience a sense of well-being and wholeness, peace and joy. |
| Meditation & Mindfulness Circles are held on the 3rd Wednesday of each month. We come together to meditate, to reconnect heart and mind and touch ourselves at a deeper level within. These evenings are eclectic in that they follow the Buddhist philosophy of meditating and being mind-full, while they incorporate other customs such as music; guided meditation; a drawing of cards; and passing the Talking Stick (First Nations), which offers participants the opportunity to share their experience during meditation through either the spoken word or silence. The intention is to be in the moment, to listen, and to be mind-full of our thoughts and emotions, ourselves and one another. Rather than a social gathering, these warm evenings are an opportunity for novice or experienced meditators to connect with other truth-seekers in a peaceful atmosphere and to connect with oneself at a deeper level through meditation and self-expression. |
