Meditation and Mindfulness
Over the centuries, Meditation has provided it’s practicants with many gifts: stillness, increased concentration and efficiency, and a profound connection, to the “present moment” of one’s life as well as to the larger Whole. Over the past several years, the field of psychotherapy has been introduced to the psychological benefits of meditation, particularly the Buddhist practice of mindfulness. Many other meditative traditions also offer a great deal in coping with the trials, pains and stress of modern life.
Meditation & You is designed to guide you in developing the basic skills used in all forms of meditation: opening & softening the body, and working with one-pointed concentration on the breath. We will also explore contemplation, equanimity and compassion. All these skills strengthen our mind, reduce anxiety and depression, and open up our personality.
Cost: $35/session (many insurance plans apply).
Saturday Mornings, 9:30-11:00 AM; Niantic, CT.
Expanding & Deepening Your Meditation Practice
Designed for those who have experience with meditation and want to deepen their focus to include handling difficult emotional states. We will use guided mindfulness meditations and loving kindness meditation. We will also explore the practice of 4th century Christian mystics (Desert Fathers) called Hesychasm as we deepen our connection to the stillness at our very center.
Cost: $35/session (many insurance plans apply).
Monday Evenings: 6:00 to 7:30 PM; Waterford CT.
Developing & Sustaining a Dynamic Daily Practice
In this hectic, over-stimulating sliver of the world we live in, feeling like a grain of sand, we all need ways to envision, remind and nurture the path we want to be on.

Transforming Our Years
In some cultures, including ours, years are synonymous with decline, leaving us individually to find our way. What happens when instead we see ourselves as harvesting all that we have learned in all its forms, and then begin making use of it for ourselves and with others.
