Beginner's Level 1

Beginner's Meditation Retreat Level 1

The Level I Beginner’s Meditation Retreat is designed for people who wish to learn meditation. Meditation can be practiced by anyone with a healthy mind and body, regardless of age or belief. Basic Ch’an (Zen) meditation will be taught as well as TaiChi and yoga or stretches to help aid in sitting meditation. This retreat helps to calm one’s mind and benefits a person emotionally and spiritually. We do various forms of meditation: tea-drinking meditation, music meditation as well as lying down meditation. Sitting meditation sessions last between 15 to 20 minutes. We sit with unsupported backs, so one needs to have a healthy back.
