ON-GOING CONTEMPLATIVE PRAYER GROUPS
Los Altos, CAINTEGRATING SPIRITUAL PRACTICE AND DAILY LIFE
How can we bring meditation out of the meditation hall and into the office? When you practice half an hour of meditation... it [is] for the benefit of the whole day. We must practice in a way that removes the barrier between practice and non-practice. (Thich Nhat Hanh)
This weekly meditation group is intended to support our individual prayer and meditation during the week, to deepen our spiritual awareness, and to help transform our relationships with the people and circumstances in our everyday life. Over the year, we will share practices that increase our concentration and compassion, and foster deep understanding of impermanence and interdependence.
Each session will include the context and instruction in the practice for that week, ample practice time, and opportunities to share and learn from each other as we discover the integration of our practice and our daily life. Experienced meditators as well as individuals who are new to contemplative practice are welcome.
Dates and Times: Tuesdays, 7:00 AM - 8:15 AM. You may arrive by 6:45 am to enjoy sacred music from various traditions and cultures
