I hesitate to use the word meditation. To me, as well as many others, the word "meditation" conjures up the
picture of a bearded man sitting cross-legged in front of an entrance to a cave or high on a mountain top.
Climbing the mountain and reaching him is part of the arduous journey toward self-fulfillment, self-
improvement. Once we find him we ask, "What is the meaning of life?" or "How do we achieve peace in
ourselves and our lives?" This all-knowing man tells us the answers are "inside ourselves" and tells us to go
and contemplate. I don't know if that answer was worth the journey!

Well, I am not a wise man/woman on a mountain. I am just like you -- involved in life and work, seeking more
serenity and calm in my life. I am still learning to do it better, using meditation as a guide on my journey. I invite
you to take this journey yourselves. I invite you to use meditation to find the answers to your questions

There are several forms of mediation that will be taught. You will learn the history & benefits as well as short
cuts to getting there quickly & easily.

Our beginner’s meditation class, “The Art of Meditation”, runs for 4 consecutive weeks. Each class is approximately 1 ½ hours long. Price is $55 for the 4 week class.  Space is limited to 10 students per class. Scheduled classes generally begin at 7 pm; however classes for special groups can be created at other times. This class is offered many times throughout the year, as well as during both spring and fall semesters through the Emerson Adult Education program.

Other special group guided meditations are offered monthly, generally on the second Wednesday evening of the month, and prices may vary.  Call 201-358-2700 to register or for more information.
