Introduction to Meditation in two sessions

Adults

This second session will focus on practices that help us to open our hearts to ourselves and to the world around us.  Attending the first session isn't necessary.

 
This program offers an introduction to meditation and techniques that are helpful for finding our clear and still mind and for cultivating a compassionate heart.  The first session, offered on January 28th, 2025, focused on the basics of concentration and mindfulness meditation.  The second session, offered on February 11th, 2025, will focus on practices that help us to open our hearts to ourselves and to the world around us.  While each session stands on its own, the sessions are offered together, as the practices that we will cover complement and support each other.

This program is being offered by Insight Meditation of Cleveland and will be facilitated by John Cunningham.  John has been teaching meditation for over 20 years.  His practice and teaching combines Vipassana (mindfulness), loving-kindness and non-dual teachings from various spiritual traditions. John has studied with several teachers, but his primary teacher is Matthew Flickstein.  

John is the primary teacher for Insight Meditation of Cleveland and leads several sanghas in the northeast Ohio area.  John has led retreats and workshops throughout the eastern United States.
