Minding the Mind, a course in Vipassana (Insight) Meditation

This is a 6 week, once weekly course. Each session will be divided into a short period of mindfulness practice in the vipassana tradition of Southeast Asia, followed by discussion. Participants are encouraged to share experiences and to ask questions based on their own experience. A list of resources - audio/visual, printed - will be provided, meant to serve as instruction in the practice as well as inspiration from various teachers in this tradition. Establishing a daily practice is encouraged as a way to feel at ease in our lives. People report a sense of well-being, better sleep, and a number of health benefits from the practice of Vipassana meditation. Let this be your experience too.
