In our life we all need to maintain physical health. We need to build healthy relationships. We need to achieve personal satisfaction and inner happiness. We need to realize the deep sense of meaning of our life. What is essential for all the above
things is a healthy mind. Meditation is a systematic method to develop a healthy mind.

Achieving a healthy mind is not only about eradicating viruses that make the mind sick but also about developing positive qualities of the mind.

This course on Introduction to Meditation, rooted in Vipassana (insight) meditation tradition, is designed for beginners as a gradual training program. It has 6 sessions and each session lasts for 1 and ½ hours. It covers how to find your seat, ways to maintain awareness with body movements, techniques for breath meditation and ways to face common challenges in meditation such as physical pains, drowsiness and distracting thoughts.

At the end of the course, participants will be able to be familiar with basic meditation techniques to gradually calm our mind and to develop a sense of equanimity and loving kindness.

Sliding Scale (pay at your income level) $140-100 for the entire course. $20 drop ins.

Please join us in this celebration of our first album, Eleven!

This will be an all ages/all inclusive “dry” event that focuses on pure connection, love, celebration, fun and positivity. We have a very special, unique, and thoughtful evening planned for everyone. There will be local artists and vendors, a live painter during Dinosoul’s set, food and donuts provided by the infamous Relish!, free cupcakes for everyone, and delicious specialty drinks!

This event will be hosted by Donald Ducote of Wild Kindness Records. We have plenty of surprises and good feels to share throughout the night along with opening performances by Slowdanger, Thousandzz of Beez, and Swampwalk. We will have DJ Huck Finn from Second Skin spinning the best jams from the 80’s and 90’s to close out this special night.

We are so grateful and excited to share this evening with all of you. Thank you so much for your support and being a part of our vision! We cannot wait!!!

P.S. In order to respect this beautifully energetic space, we ask that all shoes be removed before entering the venue. Think of it as attending a yoga class only Dinosoul is playing 🙂
