Learn meditation techniques to reduce stress and have more peace and contentment in your lives.

The Satipatthana Sutta—the Buddha’s discourse on the Four Foundations of Mindfulness—is his most comprehensive teaching on mindfulness as a direct path to liberation. In this discourse the Buddha provides four gateways through which to investigate our experience: 1) mindfulness of the body; 2) mindfulness of feelings; 3) mindfulness of the mind; and 4) mindfulness of our experience through the lens or framework of key Buddhist teachings. Investigating our experience just as it is through these gateways can take us from this moment’s experience to complete freedom from suffering.

In this workshop we will explore mindfulness of the feelings, of mind and of the framework of key Buddhist teachings (Dhammas) such as the 7 factors of enlightenment and the 4 Noble Truths. We will combine both theory and practice in this workshop, so you can take home practical tools for the practice of mindfulness meditation on your own and apply them to increase peace and happiness in your life.
