“Meditation is old and honorable, so why should I not sit quietly, every morning of my life, on the hillside looking into the shining world? Because, properly attended to, delight, as well as havoc, is only a suggestion, only a beginning.” ~ Mary Oliver, poet

8-WEEK COURSE BEGINS FEBRUARY. Stay tuned for dates!
Enjoy the support of a meditation community (sangha) while learning the fundamentals of a Mindfulness Meditation practice with Certified Mindfulness Teacher, Lauri Glenn. This small group setting, limited to 6 attendees, will offer a more intimate and personalized opportunity to learn and practice together. There will be instruction and practice as well as time to reflect and share within the group, deepening our learning through our own as well as others experience. Evening classes will take place in person at the office of Lauri Glenn in Evergreen, CO.
(NOTE: If you will miss more than one class, please register at another time when you can attend consistently to support the group class dynamic).
You will receive recordings of guided meditations to support your practice in the weeks between. If you have a preferred seat (cushion/backjack) please bring it to each class. There will be backjacks available onsite as well. You may wish to bring a shawl/light blanket for your comfort. Please bring a notebook and pen.
Details
Sangha (community) is one of the most fundamental components of learning and growth. While each of our particular stories and lives are beautifully unique, we all share the common thread of human experience. The joys and sorrows of life are not just ours alone, they are ours together. Learning and practicing meditation together helps us to see these common threads, to realize we are not alone on this wild ride called Life, and to gain the trust and confidence in others so that we might lean on and learn from each other as we traverse this journey.
This small group course will comprise eight, 75-minute in-person classes, over 8 weeks. During our time together, you will learn the introductory basics of Mindfulness meditation and how to implement it in your daily life.
Each week builds on the previous and you will learn how to “anchor” your attention mindfully, how to work with sensation and the breath, how to work with the mind/thoughts, emotions and difficulty in your life. These skills translate directly to all the moments of your life. Skillful application of these tools over time, can create more ease, and joy and less stress in your life. The time on your “cushion” (meditating) is really the training ground for the rest of your life off the cushion.
You will receive several recorded, guided meditations which you can use to support your practice and you will also learn how to guide yourself.
I am also available for private meditation mentoring during and after the course completes. Please inquire to schedule these.
I look forward to beginning this journey into meditation with you. Please feel free to reach out with any questions. lauri@lauriglenn.com. 530-386-5578
