St. Johnsbury Shambhala Center Presents

The Way of Shambhala - Contentment in Everyday Life

Thursdays - March 24, 31, April 7, 14, & 21 at 6:30pm - 8:30pm

Taught by Wayne Schoech and Tune Faulkner

Contentment can be hard to find. Much of the time we search for contentment in things, achievements or relationships. With meditation practice, we relax with ourselves and appreciate simple human experiences. Difficult emotions and challenges of life can be met with gentleness, mindfulness and inquisitiveness.

As we continue with the Contentment in Everyday Life series, meditation experience is deepened through the cultivation of contentment and simplicity. We explore the foundational views of the Buddhist teachings, and meditation in action for daily life. Through understanding the painful conditions and emotions that keep us trapped in habitual patterns, we can open to our inherent goodness and express the qualities of the Tiger: gentleness, appreciation and steadiness. This course follows Meditation in Everyday Life, but there is no prerequisite for taking this class. It is open to all.

Cost: $75 ($60 for members, seniors and students). For more information or to register call or email Caroline DeMaio at 802-748-9338 - cdemaio@danvillek12vt.us.
