Mindfulness-Based Meditation Group on Zoom with Catherine Flaxman
2024-02-28 19:15 - 20:15 | Zoom
Living in the Present. Finding Peace Within
Applying the Dharma and Inner Wisdom to Daily Life

Wednesdays 7:15 – 8:15 p.m.
January 10 – April 3, 2024
Drawing on mindfulness practices and Buddhist perspectives, we attend to the breath and present moment awareness, so that we may step back from inciting thoughts and emotions, loosen the grip of the past and open to silence. Through these practices, the mind settles, and the heart opens and softens. We touch the inherent goodness within, cultivate compassion for self and others and learn to engage fully with life – no matter what comes our way.
Includes instruction, guided meditation and silent practice, poetry, reflections and writings.
Open to all. No prior experience necessary.
Participants are encouraged to attend every meeting to receive the benefit of regular practice within a supportive, spiritual community.
By donation on a sliding scale. Suggested donation $8 – $12 per week or $96 – $144 for series. In order to cultivate and deepen regular practice, participants are encouraged to attend every time.

LOVING THE SATURDAY WORKSHOP
The long-running Visual Perception Workshop is at the heart of O’Hanlon Center. Recently we asked workshop participants for their thoughts.
I love doing art with friends…and then sharing it!
I love that it is a drop-in class andI don’t have to sign up ahead of time.
I like that I don’t have to know how to do art…It’s about our own creativity.
It is so much fun.
I love the creative atmosphere. It breeds excitement and enjoyment of the process.
I like the mix of people and their art.
It is free and fun.
I like that I can get into the flow of art and forget the stressful world.
I look forward to stepping into another time and place. It is a magical experience to visit this special piece of land at the foot of Mt Tam.
Being with people who care about art and artists is something I find worthwhile. I feel lucky to have discovered this class. It informs me well beyond 4 hours on Saturday.
This Saturday workshop serves as a tool to open up all of my senses and I come alive.
The setting is gorgeous and serene.
I love Saturday class. I wouldn’t think of missing it. I come every Saturday, and have for years and years.
