Quiet the Mind and Open the Heart: An Introduction to Zen Buddhist Meditation

05.13.24 @ 7:30 pm - 8:30 pm

Free

Find spaciousness and stillness through meditation. Join Linda Shinji Hoffman for an introduction to Zen Meditation. We will meet in the studio and begin with ‘finding our seat’ whether on a cushion, meditation bench or chair. Then learn about posture, breath, how to hold our awareness, and what to do when thoughts arise. After this introduction, there will be a guided meditation that will move participants into silence and also time for questions and sharing. Please RSVP to studio@lindahoffman.com.

Hoffman is a practicing Zen Buddhist and a Senior student at Zen Mountain Monastery in Mt. Tremper, New York where she has been training since 2004. Her Dharma name, Shinji, means ‘Truth in the Soil’. For more information, directions, and to learn about the farm visit www.oldfrogpondfarm.com.

NOTES: The studio is the wood building near the pond. The studio is handicap accessible. There are no restrooms at the studio.
