THU
Free Meditation Class: Meditating with the Body
7:00 PM
Join Adam Wiese & Elicia Faul every second and fourth Thursday of the month at 7:00 pm for free meditation sessions. Contact Elicia (looseleaves.ef@gmail.com) or Adam (wiesead(at)live.com cell: 701.220.9621) with questions.

In these classes we will practice and explore the view of meditation according to the tradition of Tibetan Vajrayana Buddhism. We will do this by exploring the general principles and techniques of what are known as the “6 Yogas of Naropa.” The 6 yogas are powerful ways of entering and unlocking the secrets of the body by developing our somatic sense of listening and hearing what the body is telling us. We will also explore the more traditional aspects of meditation called “shamatha-vipashyana” and how they relate to the 6 yogas or “Meditating with the Body”.

Please bring a yoga mat if you own one and a few blankets to make yourself comfortable sitting and lying down on the floor.

The classes are open to all, beginners and those with previous meditation backgrounds. No prior mediation experience is required.
