Classes start at 7:00pm and run until 8:30pm. Please arrive by 6:50pm to get settled in.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The class consists of sitting meditation, walking meditation, and a brief talk. The meditation practice will start promptly at 7:00 with a guided meditation followed by walking and movement meditation and then silent practice. There will be a talk, given by our teacher, ending at 8:30pm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the summer, classes are student-led and online-only, ending with the reading of an article and a group discussion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Please read our guidance document Before Your First Class<\/em><\/a>, before attending.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

For further guidance, we periodically offer an Introduction to Mindfulness<\/a> class.<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
