Description
Meditation
with Alan Lessik
The Meditation on 27 November will be focusing and honoring the memories of those who died from HIV/AIDS. The first half of the hour will a traditional silent meditation. In the second half, we will offer a loving-kindness mediation, where everyone will have the chance to sprinkle some incense in the memory of their loved ones.
The Queer Meditation Group provides LGBTQIA+ individuals, with a safe space to engage in an exploratory approach to meditation through gentle body tuning, breath awareness and conscious sitting practice. Each of the facilitators will bring their experiences in Mindfulness, Zen, Vipassana and other forms of meditation. Previous meditation experience is not necessary.
The body-mind and the senses are explored as doorways into meditation. The purpose of this exploration is to become more conscious of your Self at many levels. Beginning wherever we are, this approach to meditation has an open goal of harmonizing with the present moment. The focus is on slowing down, unwinding tension and relaxing the nervous system.
Alan Lessik is a novelist, queer activist and Zen practitioner. He taught meditation at Queer Dharma at the San Francisco Zen Center and was a guest teacher at the SF LGBTQ Sangha.
