Meditation Mentoring Program (MMP)

Chris is currently working individually with students through his Meditation Mentoring Program, which now includes a monthly group meditation practice period and discussion.

This group is intentionally kept small. Currently there are a few spaces available.

Quiet Morning, Still Mind
1/2-day Spring retreat

Saturday, May 6. 9:30am-1:00pm

Description
To develop our meditation practice we first reduce external distractions–retreat is particularly helpful for this. Supported by silence, instructive teacher reflections, and community, we then turn our attention to our own mind and body, strengthening our ability to rest our attention fully on present moment experience. As the mind becomes more stable we gain some space from the minutiae of daily life–its many responsibilities and stressors–as well as habituated beliefs and conditioned responses to our life, and this allows the body to relax and the mind to grow more quiet.

Join Chris for a morning of insight meditation practice consisting of sitting and walking, silence, dharma reflections, and discussion. Beginners and experienced meditators are welcome.  

May 6, Saturday. 9:30am-1:00pm

Pre-registration required (space limited)

Center for Mindfulness & Insight Meditation, Wenham, MA.
