FEBRUARY 2012 SCHEDULE: We will be meeting every Sunday this month except February 19th.
The Springwater Center in upstate New York.
We meet every Sunday evening from 7:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. at the Centering Space, 59 Cambridge Avenue, Toronto, a one-minute walk from the Broadview subway station. Street parking and limited private parking available.
Our first meditation sitting begins promptly at 7:00 p.m. Two 25-minute sittings are each followed by a short period of walking meditation. Over tea, we then take turns reading from a recognized teacher such as Toni Packer and Eckhart Tolle and discuss our thoughts and questioning about what we have just read and how this relates to our own experience. This is a forum that we call Group Dialogue. Once a month we play a recorded talk by a recognized teacher. Our meeting concludes with a 15-minute meditation sitting. Everyone is invited to linger over a second cup of tea.
All are warmly welcome to attend. We suggest that those new to meditation arrange to attend an orientation session at 6:15 p.m. at the Centering Space (scheduled as required). Similarly, we recommend that those with meditation experience but new to meditative inquiry contact us beforehand. We find that a brief chat about your experience and our format is often valuable.
Meditation Mats and Cushions
We have a few (not many) mats and cushions available for use. We have many chairs available (including those of the legless variety that sit directly on the floor). We also have many soft cushions and pillows. You are welcome to bring your own mat and cushion.
