From 6 to 10 May, Spectrum is organising a 5-day meditation course during lunchtime in Forum Library. It is open for beginning and experienced meditators.

Programme

Day 1. BEING GROUNDED IN POSTURE

A stable posture is the foundation of our meditation practice. When our body becomes still our mind will follow.

Day 2. SPACIOUSNESS THROUGH BREATH

Our breath is a natural process that is always with us and connects us with everything. Through our breath we can realize our natural openness, flexibility, and creativity.

Day 3 & 4 WORKING WITH THOUGHTS AND EMOTIONS

Whatever arises in our mind or in our heart is totally workable. We can begin to see this as we become more intimate with our inner landscape.

Day 5 STILLNESS IN ACTION

The openness and stillness that we cultivate in meditation can, with practice, be brought into our daily lives. Coming from this space we can navigate situations moregracefully.

Trainer

Wayne Gregoire, Buddhist monk has been a fulltime resident for 8 years at Zen River Temple and is a student of the abbot Tenkei Roshi. Raised on a cattle ranch in Montana and then starting a career as Software Engineer in the games industry, there was little in his environment to suggest that one day his favourite time would be sitting in a meditation hall. Zen River Temple is an international meditation centre in the North of the Netherlands, and Spectrum organises twice a year an outing to visit and practice with this Buddhist community.
