SUMMARY:Open House Meditation (In-Person)
DESCRIPTION:Sunday Open House Meditation Gathering hosted by the Westchester Mediation Center \n\n\nLed by Gene Bobker\, Charles Olson\, and WMC staff\nSundays from 10 – 12 pm ET – No meeting on January 21st due to WMC annual retreat.\nDrop-ins welcome!\nCost: By donation (recommended $10 per meeting).*\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPlease join us on Sunday mornings for a community gathering involving meditation practice\, discussion\, and readings. We gather to meditate for two 20-minute sessions with a walk and/or stretch in between\, then listen to an inspiring reading\, and have a group discussion. This program is open to everyone. No registration is required. No experience is needed. Guidance on the technique of meditation is available to anyone interested or new to practice. \nThe theme for Winter/Spring 2024 is Taking the Leap: Freeing Ourselves from Old Habits and Fears. When life’s events challenge us\, we frequently default to old habits and emotional states. Meditation helps us discover that while we will never be able to completely control our world\, we can train our minds to meet and accept life just as it is\, in the present moment. Pema Chodron’s book is about awakening the essential qualities of natural intelligence\, natural warmth\, and natural openness that help us to take a bold leap toward a new way of living—one that will bring about positive transformation for ourselves and for our troubled world. Meditation guides us to meet our minds\, embrace the fullness of our experience\, and live a wholehearted life. \n\nMeditation instruction (for those that are brand new to meditation or need a refresher) is available\, if needed.\nCost of attendance is by donation. Recommended donation is $10 per meeting\nListen to past Sunday Dharma Talks here. Check out our guest speakers here.

SUMMARY:Qigong with Robert Peng (In-person)
DESCRIPTION:Robert Peng\, a world-renowned Qigong Master and healer\, was born and raised in Hunan\, China. \nAt age eight\, he began an intensive apprenticeship under the close guidance of the legendary monk Xiao Yao\, an enlightened master known for his profound healing ability and martial arts skill. At age 15\, Robert endured a 100-day water fast in a small dark room at a secluded monastery in the remote mountains of Hunan province\, which initiated a radical spiritual transformation and awakened amazing healing powers. \nAfter pursuing his training quietly while attending university in Changsha\, he began to teach publicly at 29\, and within five years had trained over 150\,000 students all over China\, Australia\, and the U.S. \nWith his deep understanding and practice of Qigong\, and with extensive life and teaching experience in the Western world\, Robert has developed a unique way to teach Qigong that people from different cultures can easily understand and follow while enjoying the real essence of this ancient Chinese healing art of wisdom\, love\, and vitality. \nThis is an in-person event. \nCost: $69.99 \nRegister: Here

SUMMARY:Open House Meditation (In-Person)
DESCRIPTION:Sunday Open House Meditation Gathering hosted by the Westchester Mediation Center \n\n\nLed by Gene Bobker\, Charles Olson\, and WMC staff\nSundays from 10 – 12 pm ET – No meeting on January 21st due to WMC annual retreat.\nDrop-ins welcome!\nCost: By donation (recommended $10 per meeting).*\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPlease join us on Sunday mornings for a community gathering involving meditation practice\, discussion\, and readings. We gather to meditate for two 20-minute sessions with a walk and/or stretch in between\, then listen to an inspiring reading\, and have a group discussion. This program is open to everyone. No registration is required. No experience is needed. Guidance on the technique of meditation is available to anyone interested or new to practice. \nThe theme for Winter/Spring 2024 is Taking the Leap: Freeing Ourselves from Old Habits and Fears. When life’s events challenge us\, we frequently default to old habits and emotional states. Meditation helps us discover that while we will never be able to completely control our world\, we can train our minds to meet and accept life just as it is\, in the present moment. Pema Chodron’s book is about awakening the essential qualities of natural intelligence\, natural warmth\, and natural openness that help us to take a bold leap toward a new way of living—one that will bring about positive transformation for ourselves and for our troubled world. Meditation guides us to meet our minds\, embrace the fullness of our experience\, and live a wholehearted life. \n\nMeditation instruction (for those that are brand new to meditation or need a refresher) is available\, if needed.\nCost of attendance is by donation. Recommended donation is $10 per meeting\nListen to past Sunday Dharma Talks here. Check out our guest speakers here.
