Sunrise Meditation – Winter Practice: The Eight-Fold Path with Elisabeth Schramm
Tuesdays & Thursdays 7am – 8am
LINK: SUNRISE
By donation, please send e-transfer to elisabethschramm@gmail.com
Beginning the second week of January, we will explore the Eightfold Path. Each week, focusing on one element of the path. The eight parts are grouped into three essential elements of Buddhist practice—moral conduct, mental discipline, and wisdom. This path may be a support in how my practice on the cushion grows into my daily life. This
roadmap taught by the Buddha 2600 years ago remains relevant and helpful today.

Dana
Following the 2,500-year-old Buddhist tradition, the teachings are considered priceless and so are offered freely. We practice dana, or generosity, by offering a donation for the meditation teachings. Dana is not a payment for goods or services, but comes from the heart.
For Ken’s classes, donations can be made by sending an e-transfer to info@arriveyoga.ca.
For Elisabeth’s classes, please send e-transfer to elisabethschramm@gmail.com.

Meditative Counseling
With Ken Hood
Ken Hood is offering a new form of support and practice, called Meditative Counseling. Mostly it will be a short-term approach of about 5-6 weekly sessions, however it can run longer, if helpful. During this time, we will identify a particular area where you are having difficulty, or want to become stronger, and then create a customized bundle of meditations and mind-training tools to help you accomplish this. The work can be done in person or digitally through Zoom.
Each weekly session will run for about 65-70 minutes, and involves:
– a quick “check-in”.
– a meditation session.
– a wide ranging conversation about whatever arises from the formal practice or your life!
– learning a new meditation technique, usually each week.
– and finally a quick “wrap-up”
To be clear this is NOT therapy or psychotherapy, however Meditative Counseling can be used in a way that is complementary to traditional therapy, however not if someone is experiencing psychosis or serious delusional states. Meditation should also be used cautiously with trauma.
It is suitable for 1 or 2 people. The cost is $100 per session for one person and $150 for two. This cost includes HST.
