The ”season of peace & joy” does not always bring only peace & joy...In fact, it often brings the opposite — loneliness, sadness, longing… old resentments, family triggers and conflicts. How can we best prepare not just to endure this time, but to transform it into something truly meaningful? The “home” we really need to return to for the holidays, is our own heart. We’ll do three meditations together during this series that inspire warmth, connection and belonging from within, helping us to maintain peace and joy throughout the season.

Are you at a loss as to how to help our world? We are not separate from our world; each of us influences this planet and everyone on it. In these uncertain times, it is so important to learn to meditate because the bigger our heart the more difference we will make. We’ll start with breathing meditation, followed by a contemplative reading & teaching from the book, 8 Steps to Happiness, then the beautiful “Prayers for World Peace” and a final meditation.

Mantra is a Sanskrit word that means “protection”. Mantra recitation is an important – and some might say magical – aspect of meditation practice. In this class we will learn about the basics of mantra recitation, the good results that come from it, and how to incorporate it into your practice.

Malas, or prayer beads, are used when reciting mantras or prayers. For Buddhist practitioners, their personal mala becomes a blessed and meaningful object.

In this practical and hands-on workshop, we will learn the traditional technique of mala-making and go home with a completed mala. This is a great opportunity to make a hand-made meaningful gift to offer this holiday season. Children are welcome!

Beads, and all other materials will be available, but you can also bring your own beads to use, if you wish.

Registration required to ensure we have enough supplies.
