Meditation Course with Upali & Kynan
Upali and I collaborated on what we think creates the most high quality and enjoyable online meditation course experience, and this is the result! The course lasts 6 weeks and starts January 9th.
This will act as pathway to eSangha, a class for advanced meditators run by Tucker Peck.
For those with an interest in the practical benefits of a contemporary approach to meditation and Dharma.
The aims of this course are to enable participants to establish a consistent meditation practice, learn about how the core concepts of Buddhism might apply to our lives, and find support and community (saṅgha).
The course will primarily explore the meditation practice of śamatha or calm abiding using techniques from The Mind Illuminated and will suit anyone practising in stages 1-4 of TMI. We will also look at how śamatha practice can integrate with mettā, insight, and open awareness practices.
Each week we will develop an understanding of meditation techniques through guided meditations, discuss practice experiences and get assistance, and consider key concepts of Buddhist practice. You will learn tips and tricks for practising, get support from a community, and gain confidence in your ability to practice on your own.
This course acts as the introduction to eSangha, and will also provide a solid foundation for attending retreats with Dr. Tucker Peck and Upasaka Upali.
