Is your meditation practice feeling dry and uninspiring? Or does it lack momentum? Perhaps you want to start a meditation practice but don’t know where to begin.

Geshe Kelsang Gyatso writes:
“Just as we need to prepare carefully for an examination or a dinner party if it is to be a success, so we need to prepare carefully for meditation if we are to experience good results.”

In this course, through Buddhist teachings and meditations, we will learn the six meaningful and joyful rituals we engage in to prepare for our meditation and to give it great power.

What to expect in this Saturday course:

* Learn to apply six easy and practical rituals to enrich your meditation practice.

* Identify what’s hindering your meditation practice

*Learn how to develop a vivid meditation experience that will inspire you to change deeply.
*Create a well-rounded knowledge of what Buddhist meditation is.

Everyone is welcome, beginners and experienced meditators!
