Join Maya for a Community Meditation session. Maya will lead participants in a shamatha (peaceful abiding) meditation practice together, followed by a short teaching and group discussion on a different theme related to mindfulness. Suitable for beginners or experienced meditators. All are welcome.
The theme for this session is Beginner’s Mind, a concept from the Zen Buddhist tradition. We’ll explore how to approach meditation with a fresh and curious mind, no matter how long we’ve been practicing.
Community Meditation occurs every first and third Tuesday from 6-7 pm at Firefly Studio.
98 Front St., Suite 24
Bath, ME
Sliding Scale $10-20 via cash, Venmo @maya-rook, or card.
Drop in or sign up in advance here.
