CANCELLED – Mindfulness Meditation Workshop

CANCELLED

Overview:
Instruction will be offered on Shamatha meditation (Shamatha is a Tibetan word meaning “peacefully abiding”), with the opportunity to practice in a group setting. Participants of all skill levels (beginner to expert) are welcome. Instruction will address the impact of trauma on our internal worlds, and will be presented as a tool to re-connect, ground and begin to make friends with our bodies and ourselves. There will be opportunities to ask questions after instruction and before meditative practice. Following meditation, there will be an open discussion on compassion, and how it relates to the self. We will end the workshop with another meditation, followed by a short moment for additional questions to be asked before participants leave. A DRCC support person will be on site to assist anyone who may need it.

About the Instructor:
Erin Vanderstelt is an authorized Shambhala Guide (Shamatha Meditation Instructor), course leader, coordinator for teacher development for the Great Lakes region and founder of the Oshawa based-meditation group. Shambhala is a world-wide collection of Buddhist based meditation groups and centres – and in the Shambhala tradition, meditation practice offers a pathway of deep connection to our inherent qualities of dignity, kindness, wisdom and strength – all of which are essential on the journey of personal, cultural and societal transformation and growth.
