Meditation / Optional Dinner
starts Sunday 09 june 2024 at 18:00
Come join us for a Sunday meditation gathering and optional dinner!
We'll start at 18:00 with a brief discussion on some aspect of Indian philosophy from Samkhya, Yoga, Vedanta, or Tantra followed by breathing practices, mantra chanting and meditation.
At 19:00, the practice will end and those who wish to dine together can do so at a nearby restaurant. If attending meditation and dinner, please select "whole workshop". (You pay your own dinner at the restaurant.) If attending just the meditation and no dinner, please select "individual session", then check just the "€10" checkbox.
Style: Meditation
Most of the time, our mind is ruminating about the future or reminiscing about the past. When we reduce this mental chatter through meditation, we feel deeply present, connected, and alive. Life becomes clear, simple, and serene, and our natural state of joy immediately manifests. To practice meditation, we withdraw our senses from the outside world and concentrate on a single focal point. It can be visual like the image of an inspiring spiritual figure. It can be auditory like a mantra which is considered to be a mystical power encased in a sound structure. It can be the breath which always exists in the present moment. It can be a thought, like the contemplation on one's deepest essence. We offer guided meditation at 1-hour Sunday afternoon gatherings held once a month and which include breathing exercises and other preparatory practices or as part of our 1-hour Sunday 20:00 yoga nidra streaming which also take places once a month.
