Mental and emotional suffering come in many forms. Join this week's talk as Salima brings us to the crux of the practice, and we explore the world of "defilements of mind" that appear throughout the day, whether we are practicing mindfulness practice or not.
Jess is offering this event as a valuable compliment to his concurrent Mindfulness for Insight course. During his 6 week course (6 Wednesday evenings 8pm Starting Sept 4 ), there is a lot to cover and there isn't much time for extended guided meditations. So when better than free at our MSC Sunday?! All are […]
