Stupendous Summer: Weekday Morning Meditation Practice

May 25th (2022)

Date details +

    Join us as we sit together in group meditation sessions. These sessions will be offered virtually via Zoom, with meditation practice Wednesday and Friday mornings 8-8:30 am May 4th to June 29th. 

    Summer is arriving, and the flowers are opening up. We, too, can mirror the natural world as we learn to arrive in the present moment, and to open to both our own minds and to our surroundings during our morning meditation practice.

    The program offers 30 minute sessions. For the first 5 minutes or so we will share Dharma and readings, followed by silent practice of sitting meditation. For those who are new to meditation, meditation instruction will be available on Friday mornings. 
    ALL ARE WELCOME. You may join at any time during the 8-week season, and for as many sessions as you like. 
    Please register to receive the Zoom link.
    Wednesday and Friday, 8:00 AM - 8:30 AM May 4th - June 29th

    The patron price of $150 for the entire program, or of $75 for one-month, supports those who cannot attend at the program price.

    Programs without a price are free. For those programs with a price listed, please do not let price be an obstacle. Visit our generosity policy page.

    When available as an option, your generosity in offering the patron price helps cover the costs for others who are not able to pay the full price. Any amount offered above the Program Price is considered a charitable donation to the centre, and will be included in a tax receipt issued by email in February of the following year.

    For programs that have a register button, it is helpful for us if you can indicate your intention to attend by registering ahead of time. In order to prevent duplicate entries in the Shambhala Database, all registrations are reviewed before you will receive a confirmation email.

    Our Refund Policy:  For convenience you can pay online using a credit card via PayPal. If we cancel the program for any reason, we will give you a full refund. We understand that sometimes after you have pre-paid, you might be unable to attend.  We will be happy to refund your payment if you request it at least 24 hours before the program starts.  Due to the difference in PayPal charges for purchases and refunds, we charge a nominal amount of $5 for a refund.
