About this Event

with Kitty Costello and David Onek

Tuesdays, January 20 & 27 and February 10, 7:15 - 8:30 pm

& Half Day Retreat Saturday, February 14, 9 am - 1 pm


Whether you’re new to meditation or you want to revitalize your practice, let’s unpack and experience the Buddha’s meditation instructions together. This is an Insight-oriented meditation class, grounded in the Buddha’s Four Foundations of Mindfulness.

Each session will include a combination of guided and silent meditations, short talks on the Four Foundations, short mindful movement sessions (chi gung or walking meditation), recommendations for home practice, plus reports, comments, and Q&A.

We encourage you to sign up for and attend all 4 sessions, for the continuity of learning and cohesion of the sangha group, but drop-ins are welcome.
