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

— Who —

Michael Persimmon, a former monk, is teaching this meditation mini-class. It’s a bite-sized sample of what he offers in his full, four-day course.

Sunday, March 6, 2022 at 6:00 PM – 7:30

Chuckanut Center, 103 Chuckanut Dr N, Bellingham, WA
