This training is free, on behalf of Healthy Lincoln County, a tier two distributor of Narcan in the State of Maine. Upon completion of this training, you will receive one kit, with two doses of Narcan, to add to your first aid kit or AED box. Additionally, you will receive supplemental resources to have on hand should you want to review what was discussed in the live training event.

Natural Meditation

$80

with Al D'Andrea

Calendar Apr 30, 2024 at 6 pm, runs for 5 weeks

This meditation class is suitable for everyone, from beginners to advanced practitioners. We will come together once a week to sit in meditation. Natural meditation is a form of meditation in which we let go of the need to do something and learn to just sit and observe what arises - our thoughts, feelings, mental perceptions, and emotions. Through this process, we slowly reduce our reactivity to events, develop calm abiding, and gain insight into the nature of our intrinsic mind, the non-dualistic mind beyond all thoughts and concepts. A simple yet profound way to work towards developing equanimity in the face of life's many challenges. Al D’Andrea has been guiding meditation practitioners for many years as a practice leader of the Portland Maine Natural Meditation Practice Group, which has sat weekly for over 25 years. His many years of individual meditation practice led to numerous weekend and weeklong retreats with prominent Western and Tibetan masters. Al is a professional stage director, actor and playwright who came to Tibetan Buddhism in the 90s. He has always been drawn to a study of the human condition through his work in the theater. He is currently Artistic Director of Snowlion Repertory Company, where he has blended his spiritual and professional work into a common life’s path.
