Calming the Mind
Joy of Living Meditation Workshop
With Senior Tergar Instructor Cortland Dahl
And Guest Speaker Dr. Richard Davidson
In this Joy of Living Level I meditation workshop, we will learn how cultivating awareness can help create a peaceful mind and joyful heart. The practice of meditation transforms the way we relate to our lives. In cultivating mindful awareness, we tap into a sense of inner peace and contentment that is always available to us, even in the midst of challenging situations, difficult emotions, and painful thoughts. Though meditation often sounds difficult, it is easy to learn and can be practiced anywhere and anytime.
In this introductory series, we will explore the landscape of our experience with mindful awareness, learning how meditation can help us to transform the way we relate to the body, sensory experiences, thoughts, and emotions. This is an entry program to Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche’s accessible teachings on the practice of meditation. It offers step by step instructions that will benefit those new to meditation and inspire those who have an existing practice. It is suitable for people of all faiths, as well as both beginning and experienced meditators.
Each class in the series includes presentations on the key points of meditation practice by Senior Tergar Instructor Cortland Dahl, DVD teachings by Mingyur Rinpoche, as well as guided meditations and discussion. This series will also include an evening with renowned neuroscientist and founding member of Tergar Madison, Dr. Richard Davidson.
