2 Apr - 21 May; no session 23 April and 14 May.
In this all-levels class we will explore the teachings of the Buddha through the secular lens of Zen master Thich Nhat Hanh. We will emphasize the basic practices of sitting meditation, following the breath, generating joy, and caring for our thoughts and emotions.
You will leave our session with the ability to create and maintain your own home practice as well as techniques for staying present during each moment of your day.
Class will include quotes and readings that will be kept in a shared google document for you to refer to anytime. There will be some time during our call spent in small break-out groups and easy optional homework between sessions.
If you miss a session - they're recorded and available within 48 hours.
