Wednesday evenings 7 to 9pm. Next 10-week session January 23 to March 26, 2008. Taught by David Liang. Introduction to Insight Insight (Vipassana) Meditation is a practice that helps us to make friends with ourselves. As we come to understand our habitual patterns, we discover that this understanding actually brings real change - our stress is reduced, we find new choices to make. This series will help you to develop and maintain a daily sitting practice, as well as to develop more continuity of mindfulness in your daily life. As well as cultivating mindfulness, we will work with traditional practices that nurture compassion for ourselves and for others. Each class will include group discussion time and some movement to connect us to our bodies.
