Learn to Meditate

Curious about learning to meditate? Join us for a morning and learn mindfulness meditation, open to all and free of cost.

Beginning Meditators welcomed! Learn basic mindfulness meditation techniques or brush up on your currant practice. There will be new and experienced meditators alike at this free morning meditation session at Karmê Chöling. In the first part of the morning there will be a thorough introduction to the practice of meditation. We will give detailed instructions on both basic sitting meditation and a "zen-style" walking meditation technique. We will talk a little about the view and understanding of meditation as well as go over some "best practices". This will provide you a good foundation on which to base an ongoing, consistent meditation practice at home. Everyone is invited to join the Karmê Chöling Staff and Residents for all or part of this half-day meditation retreat. There is no charge for this open house, but we do ask that you register so we know how many to expect. We hope to see you there! Schedule: The day will begin at 9am with meditation instruction, opening chants, and sitting meditation. If weather permits, there will be outdoor walking meditation sessions. You do not need to commit to the full morning, but may come and go as needed. The session will end at 12:30pm . Lunch is optional and will be offered at 12:30pm. We ask for a $10 donation to cover the cost of the meal. Please let us know you are planning to attend lunch by notifying us by email: info@karmecholing.org . Prerequisites: There are no prerequisites for this program. Beginners are welcomed!
