FIVE WEEK IMMERSIVE MEDITATION COURSE
This five-week live immersive meditation course supports the asynchronous The Art of Meditation course that includes over twenty recorded offerings and accompanying written materials. Both the in-person and on-line courses are offered at no cost. The in-person class meets five times - once a week - ether on Saturday mornings from 10:15am to 11:30am at Community Yoga Center (2900 Adams Street, A-20, Riverside, CA 92504) or Wednesday evenings from 7:30pm to 8:45pm at All Saints Episcopal Church (3847 Terracina Drive, Riverside, CA 92506). This immersive meditation experience is free and registration is not required.
This course is designed for you to begin each week in-person, feeling into the module concepts, and then practicing a specific meditation technique during that week. Understanding the “why” behind the meditation methods and consistently practicing meditation over the course of five weeks is the power behind this course - it’s what creates such significant potential for change - for a shift into deeper truth and love. If you feel at all drawn to take a step into the world of meditation - to create and sustain a meaningful meditation practice that can cause lasting change - a practice that literally changes your brain and how you experience life - consider enrolling in this course. Meditation has touched my life with profound love, and I hope this course is a continuation of that love. - Kristin

Meditation, like art, is a dynamic process of emancipated expression and perception. In meditation, you are the artist, art, and art lover. Moment by moment you are the artist consciously and unconsciously expressing your self through the medium of body sensations, mind states, and feeling tones. Your perennial expression of “you” creates an ongoing work of art. When you witness this perpetual “you-art,” you are the art lover perceiving what’s expressed, from the ordinary to the ineffable. This experience of expression and perception can evoke real intimacy with your self and the great mystery of life itself - it can reveal eternal truths.
The Art of Meditation course offers a way to open and deepen perception and develop a wise relationship with the nature of experience. Cultivating present moment awareness imbued with courageous honesty and radical love is the foundational practice. It works against our habit of wanting to be distracted - of not wanting to meet life as it actually is - of looking outside ourselves for something to ease our pain and suffering. This practice allows us to experience the precious gift of being alive - it helps us feel into our physical, mental, and emotional experience and feel more connected to life itself.
This course explores three forms of meditation and encourages you create your own unique trinity meditation practice by integrating the three forms. The Art of Meditation course provides opportunities for you to:
