Course Overview<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Our in-person summer Meditation Made Easy course<\/em> is a gentle, experiential introduction to meditation and mindful living, offered in a warm and supportive environment. Designed for complete beginners as well as those looking to refresh their practice, it is grounded in the simple and accessible teachings from Happiness<\/em> by Thich Nhat Hanh. Over five sessions, you’ll learn to bring mindfulness into everyday life with greater clarity, calm, and confidence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each class, Dharma Teacher G.R. Lewis will guide students through practical exercises, reflections, and real-life applications\u2014supported by short readings and at-home practice from Happiness<\/em>. The course emphasizes ease, warmth, and accessibility, making meditation approachable for everyone, regardless of spiritual background.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is not a course on Buddhism, but it does draw on timeless Buddhist meditation techniques that support well-being, presence, and compassionate living. It is also especially helpful for those who are curious about or exploring the Buddhist path.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
