Meditation Group

Hidden within each of us is a vast universe of consciousness waiting to be uncovered and explored. The method used from ancient times to discover this inner dimension of human consciousness is meditation. Meditation is simply learning to turn the focus of our consciousness within and allow it to reside there at will without being distracted. In learning this practice we discover peace of mind, relaxation, and deeper insights into life, our being and our own spirituality.

The purpose of this group is to progressively explore the art of meditation: specifically to learn about meditation, to practice various methods of meditation and to share our insights.

The Meditation Group meets in the Children's Chapel on the second Tuesday of each month at 7:00 pm in Children's Chapel.
