The Development of Embodiment and Wisdom on the Yogic Path Through Mindfulness Meditation Practices.

Join Rich Panico in a four week course focused on the development of non-conceptual somatic wisdom (insight based in tranquility and a still mind) through mindfulness and insight practices. This course is based in Early Buddhist Meditation, (the Mahasatipatthana Sutta) with reference to The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali.

Mindfulness involves practices that are broad and deep and whose gifts can be applied to healing, creativity, and shaping and guiding our life experiences.

This course is intentionally experiential, using guided meditations, yoga nidra, imagery, movement, poetry and readings. Brief Dharma talks are inevitable.

• learn to listen to the body and discover its voice
• explore the mind, body, heart connection
• find knowing without thoughts

“Great wisdom lives within the body but is not of it.”

“By whatever thing the world is bound, by that, the bond is unfastened.”
-Hevajara Tantra

Cultivating 4 Keys to Peace, 7-day Meditation & Raja Yoga course

7 consecutive days: MAY 20-27 from  7:15-8:00 am

$40 Early bird, use promo code KEYS, exp. 5/13/24 | $50 regular

Please register in advance; a Zoom link will be emailed 1 hour before the session, or join Zoom directly via your Momence dashboard.

Join Diana Meltsner a meditation teacher and teacher trainer online for 7 morning meditations and brief talks. They will focus on 4 keys from Yoga Sutras of Patanjali, Book 1 Sutra 33; friendliness, compassion, delight and tranquility. These keys cultivated with meditation in the mind lead to developing attitudes towards oneself, others and our daily life experience. We can acquire the ability to stay present regardless of what is happening within us and around us. When cultivated, this helpful and practical mindfulness skill allows the mind to remain undisturbed and become a useful tool and a friend to us.

With these practices Yoga and Buddhism meet. In Buddhism they are known as the Brahma Viharas, The Four Immeasurables, the practices of the heart. One learns to dwell (vihara) in these four forms of love as said by God Brahma. In the Buddhist texts and in Upanishads, these mental attitudes are considered to create protection and are associated with strength.
Meditation, talk, discussion and sharing will be included. Keeping a daily journal is recommended but not required.

All sessions will be recorded and shared with participants for later viewing.
CEUs 5 hours for Yoga Alliance offered to teachers upon request.
