Saturday Sangha
Where: The Hawthorn Tree, 112 E. 17th St.
When: 9–10 a.m.
Join for a meditation and mindfulness practice at The Hawthorn Tree. The sessions will be one hour in length, with 15 minutes of instruction and discussion, followed by a 30-minute meditation and then 15 minutes of reflection and discussion. The approach will employ concepts and practices from a secular Buddhist perspective. No particular religion or spiritual practice is being promoted, although participants are free to have whatever private religious or spiritual experiences they may have.
To be mindful is to be in the present moment as fully as possible, observing the events of our bodies and minds with curiosity, without judgment. This allows us to assess our experiences in an objective fashion, to begin to free ourselves from established patterns of thinking, feeling, behaving that may not be giving us the outcomes we would like to have. Focusing on our breathing, regulating our breathing, are the core skills in mindfulness.
There is no charge for this and no one has to divulge any personal information. One may join in any discussions or sit and observe quietly. No one is asked to make any commitment of any kind.
These sessions are conducted by Randy Basden, MS, LPC. Randy is a licensed mental health professional with over 35 years in the field and has used meditation in his personal life for much of that time. Over the years Randy has incorporated mindfulness and breath meditation in his professional work and in recent years has made an even greater commitment to Buddhist philosophy, psychology and lifestyle. He closely follows developments in neuroscience and applies the concepts to his work.
