This group is always free.
Please call Allen beforehand at 845-851-0401 if you're joining us
for the very first time.
When: Mondays 7:15pm to 8:45pm, every week
Where: Nyack American Legion Hall
85 Piermont Avenue, Nyack, NY 10960
What:
-
We begin as needed by going over posture, breath, and Zen meditation methods, and with any questions about meditation practice. There are often short readings from well-respected Zen teachers (ancient and current) and teachers from other Buddhist traditions and non-Buddhist ones as well.
-
We then get settled into a comfortable, supported posture, paying careful attention that our bodies are aligned well. People sit in a variety of postures: in chairs, on cushions, or kneeling.
-
Once settled, we sit still in silence for 2 rounds of 20 minutes each with a short, silent 5-minute break in between, to walk or stretch.
-
We finish with time for sharing experiences or to ask questions.
-
Chairs, yoga mats, and yoga blankets are provided or feel free to bring your own cushions.
-
Please be 18 or older or accompanied by a guardian.
