Learn to Meditate

Beginning Meditators welcomed!

Learn basic mindfulness meditation techniques or brush up on your current practice. There will be new and experienced meditators alike at this free morning meditation session at Karmê Chöling.

The morning will begin with a thorough introduction to the practice of meditation, including detailed instructions on basic sitting meditation and our "zen-style" walking meditation technique. We will talk a little about the view and understanding of meditation in the Shambhala tradition and share our meditation "best practices."

You will go home with a good foundation for establishing an ongoing, consistent meditation practice for yourself, as well as more information about how to continue your meditation journey with KCL.

Everyone is invited to join the Karmê Chöling Staff and Residents for all or part of this half-day meditation retreat.

There is no charge for this open house, but we do ask that you register so we know how many to expect.

We hope to see you there!

Schedule:

The day will begin at 9am with meditation instruction, opening chants, and sitting meditation. If weather permits, there will be outdoor walking meditation sessions. You do not need to commit to the full morning, but may come and go as needed.

The session will end at 12:30pm.
Lunch is optional and will be offered at 12:30pm. We ask for a $10 donation to cover the cost of the meal. Please let us know you are planning to attend lunch by notifying us by email:
