The Practice of Presence: Morning Meditation Series

with Kelly Lindsey

Eight 75-minute sessions

“Your hand opens and closes, opens and closes. If it were always a fist or always stretched open, you would be paralysed. Your deepest presence is in every small contracting and expanding, the two as beautifully balanced and coordinated as birds' wings.” ~ Rumi


Meditation is the practice of being present to what is happening within and around us. When we offer a kind-hearted attention to what is, we create the space for healing. Through the practice of meditation we cultivate a presence of mind and heart that invites wisdom and compassion to arise. In this eight week meditation series, we will explore how meditation practice enhances our ability to present for ourselves, each other, and the world around us. 

 Each class will include a short Dharma talk, gentle movement, guided meditation, and an opportunity for connecting with others. In addition to 20 years of dedicated meditation practice and training, Kelly holds a Master's degree in Counseling Psychology. In her private BodyMind Therapy practice, Kelly specializes in the integration of mindfulness-based somatic approaches to psychotherapy and awareness-based practices from the traditions of Tibetan Buddhism and Yoga. This meditation series is open to new and continuing students.
