2-day weekend

• Feb 17 – 19, 2012

Whether you’re new to meditation or wanting to learn more, we can help you!

You will learn a marvelously effective technique to help you concentrate. You’ll learn to sit comfortably so that your body is not an obstacle to inner peace. You’ll discover how to establish a daily practice of meditation, and to experience the benefits of meditation in all aspects of your life.

You’ll leave with the techniques and understanding you need to sustain a meditative practice.

Your weekend will include physical exercises to aid relaxation, and written lessons to help you get the best possible start on your meditation practice.

By taking a class during a weekend’s retreat, you’ll be able to devote your full attention to the experience, and will draw the greatest possible benefits. At The Expanding Light you’ll feel the blessings of 40 years of people devotedly practicing meditation here. All aspects of the environment – from the warm and relaxed atmosphere to the daily practice of meditation after yoga postures, the humor and joy of the teaching staff, and the wonderful fellow students – all will aid your ability to relax and experience inner peace.

Learn to Meditate starts the afternoon of the first date listed. It’s ideal to arrive before 4 pm, if you are able to. That way, you can join in the afternoon session of yoga and meditation, which begins at 4:45 pm. Dinner is at 6:30. The first real gathering of your group is at 7:30 pm. If you need to arrive here after 5 pm, that’s fine, but it helps us if you let us know at 800-346-5350. We can also put aside a dinner for you if you need to arrive after 7 pm. The program ends with lunch on the last date. Please see our Daily Schedule.
