Community Offering

“All sound arises out of Silence and dissolves into Silence. All thought arises out of Silence and dissolves into Silence. The universe arises out of Silence and dissolves into Silence. Suffering arises out of Silence and dissolves into Silence. The unbounded spaciousness of Silence, filled with the clear light of Awareness, dissolves the roots of pain and sorrow. Take refuge in Silence and know unshakeable joy.” Kalidas

DEEP SILENT MEDITATION

First Meeting:

SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 15

1:00 - 4:00 pm

We are pleased to announce a silent sitting and walking meditation practice offering with Annette Lombardi. It will be a three-hour immersion in quietude to deepen stillness and insight. She will be hosting this extended period of practice at her home meditation room with a gratitude tree filled with the heartfelt reflections of our sangha at the altar!

As Annette reminds us, practicing alone in silence transforms how we are; practicing in silence together transforms how we are with each other. Silent meditation in community allows us to rest together in awareness beyond words. In longer sessions, the mind and body begin to harmonize, opening to the quiet depths that shorter practices rarely reach. This is a time to relax the nervous system, refine concentration, and train in abiding presence.

This practice is recommended for those with an intermediate level of meditation experience. Participants are asked to bring their meditation cushions or benches, blankets if needed, and water. A limited number of chairs are available for sitting. Upon registration, you will receive the address of the home meditation studio and session reminders.
