Meeting format (During program sessions, you will be able to see and hear the teacher, as well as other program participants, and they will be able to see and hear you).

As we meditate, we can connect to our changing experience within this mind/body process and recognize that we are part of nature, we are nature. From this investigation in us and around us, we get to know the beauty of this nature that is alive, organic, moving, transforming, unfolding. We understand the elements that create it all, and from this knowledge wisdom, peace and stability of heart take birth. We will dive into this exploration so we can open to the full nature that we are.

All are welcome, both seasoned and beginning meditators alike.
