Our Meditation and Satsang classes
Join us for our Meditation and Satsang class, a community gathering focused on enhancing your meditation practice and exploring spiritual teachings.
The class starts off by giving a short introduction to the practice and why it is done. You will be gently guided into a comfortable seated position, either on cushions or chairs, enabling you to find a posture that promotes both relaxation and attentiveness. The instructor will guide you through various meditation techniques to cultivate inner stillness.
Once the meditation segment concludes, the session smoothly transitions into Satsang, a term derived from Sanskrit that signifies seeking truth together. Your guide will provide enlightening perspectives, stories, and quotes from a variety of spiritual sources, to spark curiosity and introspection. The practice of Satsang fosters an environment where people can freely engage in honest conversations and share their own unique experiences and reflections. Participating in this session can yield a variety of benefits, such as reducing stress; improving self-awareness; sharpening mental clarity; cultivating love, kindness, compassion and happiness; letting go of fear, anger, and resentment; building emotional resiliency and inner strength; and fostering a stronger bond with oneself and others. The session will conclude with a short meditation and expressions of gratitude for the opportunity for our gathering. Both beginners and experienced practitioners can participate in this class. Please dress comfortably and arrive at least 10 minutes before class.
