Meditation for Beginners
An Occassional Six-Week Series
The next Meditation for Beginners class is scheduled for Monday evenings from 7:00 – 9:00 PM, September 20th – October 25th.
This six-week Meditation for Beginners class series, as taught at Portland Friends of the Dhamma, introduces the participants to the practice of mindfulness as taugh in the Thai Forest tradition of Ajahn Chah. The class series is offered a few times a year.
Each class consists of one or two periods of guided meditation, a check-in, and a discussion of a variety of topics that help us understand what meditation is and how to practice it. Our mindfulness meditation explorations will include walking and eating meditations.
Participants are strongly encouraged to establish a regular sitting meditation practice at home.
There is no advance registration; please come to the first evening if interested. This is not a drop-in class. If a participant cannot come to the first class, the latest time to start is the second class. These Beginner Meditation classes occur on a regular basis so if you can't make this one, simply check back for future classes.
