Meditation for Non-Meditators @ Chuckanut Center

This is a four-Sunday workshop focusing on your profound inner needs while respecting your apprehension about meditating.

?Meditation completely changed my life and I cannot imagine my life without meditation.? –Kimber

?I took up meditation several years ago with a big dose of skepticism but it has totally transformed my life.? –Carmen

This can be you too.

Come and find out why meditation is a key ingredient of success, young and old.

Learn a skill-for-life that goes beyond the breath, mantras, sitting in postures, gurus, or visualizations.

Learn how to shift into the one mind we all share—consciousness—and have it transform your life.

Quiet your brain. Dissolve anxiety. End depression. Feel calm. Heal relationships.

Taught with integrity by a former monk, Michael Persimmon, who brings a refreshing change to the way meditation is taught and practiced.

Clean up your head space - meditation mini-class @ Chuckanut Center

Do you feel like you have too many thoughts? Want to learn how to side-step them and touch a deep place within?

Learn to meditate!

— About —

This is for people who want to dip their toes into meditation and see if it’s for them.

This *isn’t* mindfulness, Vipassana, the breath, chanting, visualization, postures, concentration, or anything else you’ve tried before.

This is the pure experience of being peaceful and present—what you once knew intimately as a small child.

From our educational session, you will leave feeling de-stressed, rejuvenated, clear, hopeful, light-hearted, and purposeful.

This mini-class is led with integrity, is relaxed and conversational, *while seated in chairs*, with no hooks to join an organisation, follow a guru, nor buy into a philosophy.

— What others say —

“I very much enjoyed your class. I love how this practice is easily accessible for me and (at the introductory phase at least), was not at all “woo-woo”. I’ve tried it at home and it’s great! I tend to be skeptical of things like hypnotherapy, Tarot readings and meditation. I liked your process” —Debbie

Mar 13 all-day
Meditation for Non-Meditators @ Chuckanut Center

This is a course for those who can’t meditate, who’ve tried before and thought it wasn’t for them.

This is taught by a former monk who would like to share with you all that he has learned in a conversational way without resorting to lingo.

This is a 4 week course where you are sitting comfortably in chairs. There’s no chanting, concentration, visualizations, postures, the breath or anything else you’ve tried before.

It is designed to take you from beginner to advanced meditator, going step-by-baby-step so that you feel confident.

Meditation does so much! It soothes, heals, calms, deepens, and expands.

But more than relaxation, meditation reconnects you to the forgotten part of yourself. This is the spiritual dimension, separate from beliefs. It’s a tangible state of peace without explanation, of stillness of mind, of connection.

It is simple and natural. It is us, beyond thoughts and emotions.

It is available to everyone, eyes open, or eyes closed, regardless of prior stress levels.

Come learn how. You can do it! Let Michael Persimmon show you how.
