Saturday Morning Meditation

Celebrating level 1 with morning tea and meditation

This Saturday, to celebrate Auckland's move to alert level 1 and the end of physical distancing requirements at the centre, we're having a slightly special morning meditation followed by a shared morning tea.

The 9am unguided sit for more experienced meditators will go ahead as usual.

Then we'll take a slightly more mythic and compassion-oriented approach to the 10am session.

Then we can have tea and yummy food! Bring a plate to share, if you can, or just join us.

Providing an opportunity for experienced meditators to practice with others during both sessions. 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 usually rotate from week to week between two meditation practices: mindfulness of breathing and metta bhavana. The individual meditation sessions are about forty minutes long.
