Meditation

Tuesday evening OSHO Kundalini Meditation:

Allan and Amrita are long-time meditators who have facilitated the Osho Kundalini Meditation for many years. Both have been Salt Spring Island residents for over 35 years. Amrita is a graduate Physiotherapist from Germany and Allan hails from Toronto where he was a stockbroker for many years. Allan is now a retired Salt Spring Island realtor. The Kundalini meditation’s combined moving and still sections are powerful ways to access relaxation and calm by getting into your body and out of your mind.

The meditation is one hour long, consisting of 4 -15 minute stages; shaking, dancing, sitting or standing still, all accompanied by music, and finally sitting or lying down in silence.

Tuesday night Yoga Nidra with Carole:

Yoga Nidrā is a guided meditation practice accessible for all bodies and abilities that induces deep relaxation while maintaining awareness, allowing the body and mind to rest, restore, and heal. It helps reduce stress, improve sleep, and promote a profound sense of inner peace and well-being.

Wednesday night Salt Spring Insight Meditation Society:

Salt Spring Insight Meditation Community is a community of new and experienced meditators dedicated to cultivating happiness and well-being through exploring and practicing the teachings of the Buddha, in both meditation and compassionate action.

We seek to live our lives with mindful awareness, opening our hearts to joy and to suffering, in order to live with the freedom of kindness, clarity and wisdom. We follow the tradition of Theravada Buddhism, as practiced in Burma, Thailand, and Sri Lanka, but also find support within the Zen and Tibetan traditions. Popular Theravadan teachers in North America include Jack Kornfield, Joseph Goldstein and Sharon Salzberg.

This is an open group. Everyone who attends is a valued member with a place in our community. People with all levels of meditation experience (or none) are invited to attend any of our offerings. Donations to the group are gratefully welcome.
