Transform your Summer!
Join us for three summer classes to learn about the joyful path of a Bodhisattva. A Bodhisattva is someone whose life is characterized by great joy, lightness and vision, both on and off the meditation cushion. Their path of loving kindness, compassion and wisdom is inspiring and can be practised by anyone.
These teachings and meditations will transform your summer, giving joyful purpose to all your interactions and activities. We will learn meditations and take away practical, effective methods that we can practice right now to bring real benefit to our family, our friends, and to our troubled world.
These classes are open to everyone, Buddhist and non-Buddhist, newcomers and more advanced. You are welcome to drop in to any one class, or sign up for the series of three.
July 4: Kindness of others
July 11: The path of compassion and non-harmfulness
July 18: Giving from the heart
Please note: classes in Salmon Arm are on a break from July 26-August 10 for the annual Summer Festival. Please check out our August classes below 🙂
Learn to Meditate
Do you want to be happier, more peaceful, and more resilient? Have you thought of trying meditation, but don’t know where to begin? Or maybe you want to kickstart your practice and connect with other practitioners?
In this series we will look at the fundamentals of meditation, and how it can be incorporated into your daily life. (Hint: it doesn’t require long periods of sitting and silence!)
These classes are open to everyone, Buddhist and non-Buddhist. You are welcome to drop in to any one class, or sign up for the series of three.
Everyone is welcome!
