I am super delighted to announce the first of two online programs being offered in the fall. Welcome to a feature event in our Autumn online offerings: Resting In A Non-Reactive Space. A Live, Twelve Week Immersive Online Meditation Program. During these twelve weeks, our facilitator Chris Luard, will guide us through a deep dive into a series of resting meditations. Meditations composed with the intent to bring one into a very alert, but very peaceful, calm state of tranquility. Coming to rest in a non-reactive space can provide a resource for resilience, stability, and peace in our lives. By drawing on Theravada and Mahayana Buddhist traditions, neuroscience and psychology, this retreat will offer a very broad range of teachings, in such a way that all may benefit, that all may indeed rest in a non-reactive space, regardless of religion, belief, or ideology. All sessions are facilitated live, and are not at all pre-recorded. The Resting In A Non-Reactive Space retreat will be offered on Sundays 12 noon-2:30pm. From October 1st to Dec 17th. The live sessions will meet once a week. 12 sessions in total. Meetings will occur live on Zoom and will be recorded for those participants who miss the live sessions, or for those who wish to enjoy the course at their own pace. Sessions will include guided meditations, Q n A, A one to one private session with Chris, and interactive discussions with the retreat participants. If you would like to participate, but find these times limiting, please feel free to message Chris here on Facebook or through the website: www.suchsweetthunder.org The fee for the complete eight week offering is $119.00 USD. There are scholarships and financial assistance available, and no one will be turned away for lack of funds. Spaces are limited. Chris Luard has been practicing meditation for over 37 years and has been successfully teaching meditation worldwide since 2009, giving talks, facilitating retreats, and has authored two books. Chris has received formal training in Zen, Mahamudra and Dzogchen, from the Mahayana (Japanese, Korean, and Tibetan) traditions, Vipassana and early buddhist studies from the Theravada traditions, and Vedanta from the Hindu traditions.
