Joy of Living Level I – Calming the Mind

with Tergar Facilitator Kell Julliard

In this weekend meditation workshop we will learn how cultivating awareness can help create a peaceful mind and joyful heart. The practice  of meditation enables us to transform all experiences, even difficult  emotions and painful thoughts, into sources of joy. Over the course of this  weekend, we will explore the landscape of our experience with mindful  awareness, learning how to use the body, sensory experiences, thoughts,  emotions, and even awareness itself as supports for meditation.

The schedule for this weekend workshop includes DVD teachings by Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche, presentations on the key points of meditation practice by Tergar Facilitator Kell Julliard, as well as guided meditations and discussion. This weekend is suitable for people of all faiths, as well as both beginning and experienced meditators.
