Register now for "The Fourth Noble Truth:. The Path of Shila, Samadhi and Prajna" After teaching that suffering is pervasive to all experience, that there is a cause to that suffering and that cessation is possible, Buddha then taught a way forward, which we call The Path. In this course, we will examine Path from multiple perspectives of what has been taught and what is experienced by we individuals walking this path.

Ongoing Meditation Instruction is available for both members and non-members. We all find ourselves challenged when we find our meditation practice stale, frustrating or even non-existent. You are not alone in this place on the path of meditation. Experienced instructors trained in the Shambhala tradition can encourage with helpful reminders and perhaps simply by actively listening to 'what is going on' for you. Especially in this time of social isolation when meditation is a... vital link to our sanity, please do not hesitate to reach out for support in your practice. A face-to-face one-on-one interview can be set up at the Center or via a Zoom link. Contact Lynn Dragone at [email protected] #kootenayshambhalameditation #mindfulness #nelsonbc

The upcoming daylong meditation opportunity on Saturday Oct 17th will be focused onEmbodied Meditation. Being 'out of sync' or 'in sync' can be an elusive experience. When mind and body are unsynchronized a feeling of self-doubt undermines our sense of well being. We will be honing in on our direct experience of embodiment in our meditation practice, emphasizing the synchronization of mind and body that allows a shift from disconnect to a felt sense of genuine presence.... Join me Saturday Oct 17th 9-5 for a day long meditation practice of guided instruction, discussion, a little contemplation and movement but mostly sitting. Beginning and seasoned practitioners alike are welcome. The cost is $40 or pay what you can. COVID protocols such as increased ventilation of open windows will be made so bring a blanket or warm shawl. Masks are strongly encouraged. We have reduced our total numbers in the Centre to allow for physical distancing.
