Deepen your meditation practice, your skillset and ability to facilitate meditation for others individually and in social settings. In this multi-part course you will be given an assessment which includes your experience to date and addresses current goals.
Participants will be trained in how to conduct an introduction to meditation, and lead ongoing meditations. We will:
• discuss differences between Eastern and Western traditions
• review types of meditation and their advantages or not
• summarize props and navigate surroundings
• conclude with participant trial introduction with feedback
Plus, we will offer the following:
• a simple technique to stop thoughts
• two methods from the Zen system
• two methods from the Daoist system
• two methods from Western systems
Finally, we examine correct posture and alignment for sitting meditation, key aspects to inhabiting the body, and what to do with the mind, while meditating. Ultimately our aim promotes the natural benefit of meditative practices, having equipped the facilitator with resources, a real ability to share and conduct meditation in a thoughtful and demonstrated manner.
The meditation facilitator course length can be designed around the number of participants. The course fee depends on participant count as well as if done in-person or virtually, and ranges from $350 - 450 per person. Please contact us to indicate your interest and we'll follow up.
