Accelerated and Introductory 

Accelerated group practice is specifically formatted for those experienced in deep meditative equanimity and contentment. See the Practice Six Rs page for more information. 

Introductory class series are scheduled in the North Bay annually at various locations. Instruction provides beginner and long time meditators clearer understanding how we unconsciously create the majority of our unhappiness and offers a means to decondition it by applying specific techniques.
