Resource person: Pam Petrie

Description:

This is an ongoing course, exploring the Mindfulness of Breathing instructions that was the favourite meditation of the Buddha. You will join a dynamic group of seniors who have been meeting together to share the benefits of this ancient practice. There will be guided meditations and explanations of the Buddhist teachings that support this meditation. This course offers a journey of self-exploration aimed at cultivating insight for the purpose of enhancing daily life with greater clarity and wellbeing.

Instructor: Ralph Frank is a retired psychotherapist who has been practicing Mindful Meditation since 2003. Ralph has studied with renowned Buddhist monks and nuns at monasteries in Northern Thailand, as well as with numerous international teachers in Canada, the U.S. and Mexico. In his classes Ralph brings the essential teaching of the Buddha into an easy to understand exercise in meditation for the Western mind. As part of his classes, Ralph will show practical steps to develop a 10 to 15 minute daily meditation practice that will bring a pause to an overactive mind, and a sense of being in love with this moment just as it is.
