Mystics for Everyday Living
(A Monthly Drop-In Online Event)
Facilitated by Dan Quinlan and Betsy Perry
Meditation and Contemplation: Science and Methods*
In this session of our Mystics series, we're going to again pause from talking about a particular mystic. Instead, in the first part of the session we'll briefly describe research that shows how meditation impacts our bodies and brains. In the second part, the group will take part in active demonstrations of different meditation/contemplation methods and techniques, providing ideas for methods that might work for you.
The Mystics Series is a monthly drop-in online event exploring the wisdom of the mystics and how that wisdom might help us in our spiritual journeys. Each month we'll look at the life and ideas of a different mystic. Together we will learn, reflect, and connect, providing opportunities to better understand our own journey towards wholeness.
Mystics for Daily Living is now a free event. We suggest making a $10 donation per participant at www.lumunos.org/make-a-donation.
*This session was originally scheduled for March 1, but has been rescheduled for April 12.
