“You begin with ambition of some kind. Then, at a certain stage, meditation becomes instinctive. Then you cannot not meditate – it happens to you.”-Chogyam Trumpa Rinpoche

This ongoing group meets on the 3rd Wednesday of each month to explore and refine aspects of our meditation practices – how we sit, why we sit, and how that relates to our lives. The format consists of a group meditation with some direction, a talk on a related subject and a question/answer session with sharing.

Prajna took her first yoga class in 1970 in southern California. Later that year she came through the doors of the Berkeley Integral Yoga Institute (IYI), and since that time she has loved Integral Yoga.
Over the years she has maintained an active involvement in movement, healing, and meditation. She has practiced yoga, tai chi, and various dance forms; co-authored two best selling books on Holistic Health; lived and danced flamenco in southern Spain; and since 2000, has taught Rosen Movement. In 2010, she completed her IYI Teacher Training at Yogaville, VA and began teaching yoga. She brings to her teaching four decades of meditation practice, the last twenty eight in the Buddhist tradition.

Attuning to the wisdom of the body/mind and opening to the present are the foundations of both Prajna’s teaching and personal practice.

She cooked professionally for many years at retreats centers, cafes and restaurants.

Mindfulness Meditation for Emotional Regulation – 4 week course

Please register in advance, a Zoom link and passcode will be provided via confirmation email.

$130 Early bird, exp. Feb 23
$140 Regular cost

4 week course – Tuesdays March 9, 16, 23, 30

Mindfulness meditation is ultimately a discipline of liberation from suffering. Mindfulness practice guides us to an inherently therapeutic perspective on the nature of knowing and encountering ourselves. In so doing, the ability to experience afflictive emotions are transformed into an experience of growth and durable self development. Suffering is diminished and replaced with skills that allow access to a deeper level of being whose inherent nature is happiness. This workshop is intended as an introduction to those meditative practices and skills necessary to regulate emotion.

This workshop is held on 4 consecutive Tuesday evenings for two hours. It is primarily experiential but some written, visual and lecture material will be provided. Ample time for questions will be scheduled. Prior meditation experience is preferred, you should be able to meditate comfortably for 30 minutes. If you are a beginner I can provide you with some recorded scripted meditations before hand that you can practice.

FREE Introduction: To learn more about this upcoming 4-week Meditation workshop attend the free Introduction to Mindfulness Meditation session on Tuesday, March 2, 4:00 – 5:00pm PT
