  • April 19 - 21
    Weekend of Meditation in Guelph, Ontario, at Living Yoga.
    Friday, 7 - 9 p.m.; Saturday and Sunday, 10 - 4. Join us for a weekend focusing on reducing dukkha (suffering, dissatisfaction) and developing a greater capacity for ease and well-being. While the complete elimination of pain and suffering is impossible (the First Noble Truth), we can practise making ourselves at home in our bodies and minds. This workshop will include sitting and walking meditation as well as some basic chi gung and energy-awareness practices. Nourish your capacity to receive comfort both from the inner and outer environment. This is the Buddhist concept of sukkha, ease or contentment. More information available at Living Yoga, or email Lisa.
