Meditation group is led by Joe Gilbert and open to anybody who wants to share the practice of meditation with others in a welcoming environment. There is no fee to attend these sessions. 

The past two sessions have begun with a poetry reading followed by 10 minutes of shared silence. We have then reviewed mindful sharing guidelines before opening the group for reflections, questions, and quite a few laughs. The groups have closed with a guided loving-kindness practice. 

During our time together, possible topics of exploration may be:
 -How to start and maintain a meditation practice
-Common hindrances to meditation practice and how to work skillfully with them
-Mindfulness of the body, feelings, and thoughts
-Insights into suffering, impermanence, and non-self
-Loving-kindness, compassion, equanimity, gratitude, and joy

Please email JOE if you plan to attend (joe@gilbertmeditation.com). We meet outdoors on the covered front porch or in the backyard, so dress comfortably for the weather.
