Providing an opportunity for experienced meditators to practice with others during both session. People starting to explore meditation are welcome to attend the second session where they will get the support of an experienced meditation teacher in a group context. Please arrive 5-10 minutes early since we try to start on time:
9am - for experienced meditators, no guidance provided
10am - suitable for those starting to explore a meditation practice
If you are attending the 10am session and are unfamiliar with how to meditate, please let the person leading the meditation know so they can provide more guidance than usual. For first visits it is also recommended that people sit in a chair for comfort, although meditation cushions and benches are provided for use and you are welcome to try them.
These popular drop-in sessions rotate from week to week between two meditation practices: mindfulness of breathing and metta bhavana. The individual meditation sessions are about forty minutes long.
If you enjoy this session, we encourage beginners to consider attending one of our six week meditation courses or weekend retreats to learn the basics of how to meditate and get helpful tips on meditation posture. Please call the centre tel. (09) 378-1120 if you want to explore your options.
