What to Expect on Sunday Mornings
Anyone with an interest in meditation and Buddhism is welcome
We meet on Sunday mornings from 10 to 11am. At Serenity Roots Yoga and Wellness Center we gather in the spacious yoga studio where you will find mats with sitting cushions on the floor, as well as chairs to sit on.
We meditate together in silence. Some mornings we add in a short walking meditation for those who wish to do so, while others remain seated. Some mornings we do the Chenrezig practice which is a way to engender loving kindness for all sentient beings. This practice is led by an experienced chant leader and all participants have a handout with the chants in both Tibetan and English. Newcomers are free to sit quietly and follow along by reading the English to better understand what the chant's purpose is.
We are made up of all different levels of interest and knowledge, and we are united in our belief that calming our minds and opening our hearts is a worthwhile endeavor.
