By donation, no meditation experience required, come truly AS YOU ARE! Held at Louise Riersen's, 2019 J Ave., just a few doors down from Anacortes High School.
The next open meditation gathering will be Thursday, February 2, 2012 from 6:30- 8 pm. Anyone with meditation experience is welcome to attend. We have changed our meeting place to the home of Louise Riersen, at 2019 J Avenue, near Anacortes High School. There's no need to pre-register and no cost, though donations are gratefully accepted. It's a wonderful way of coming together to share silence and a cup of tea with people from different paths of meditation.
Questions? Call 360-333-9533.
I'll be offering a three-week course on Meditation through Skagit Valley Hospital wellness programs (HealthQuest) on Weds., February 22, 29 and March 7, 2012 from 6-8 pm. The cost is $39 and you can register or get more information at (360) 814-2424.
Also forming now in Anacortes: a Level One Focusing course. If you're interested, please e-mail me at jhodgman@zenjan.com with FOCUSING as the subject. This will be held either as two weekend days, probably two consecutive Saturdays. Please note your preference.
Here's what you can expect from a beginning Level One Focusing Workshop. These take place as interested people sign up:
Be able to:
+ Create a nurturing inner space for listening to yourself
+ Identify "felt senses," the body's way of communicating its wisdom to you
+ Focus with a partner and companion another's Focusing session
+ Apply through the Focusing Institute's program to find a Focusing partner in person or by telephone
As always,if you want more information or if you're interested in a private session of Focusing/guidance, give me a call at (360) 333-9533.
