More and more people are discovering meditation as a method of working with the challenges of living in our hyper-paced, 21st century world. Recent scientific research suggests that meditation practice is an effective way to lessen stress and depression, boost the body's immune and respiratory functions, increase happiness, and cultivate compassion and joy.
Join us every Sunday from 3 pm - 5 pm for meditation instruction and sitting practice led by David Bartlett. Appropriate for beginners as well as experienced meditators, this afternoon session will begin with an hour of guided instruction, discussion, and opportunity for questions and comments. At 4 pm, you may choose to continue practicing with David for an hour of silent practice.
David Bartlett has been practicing meditation with The Interdependence Project and its senior teacher, Ethan Nichtern, for five years, as well as participating in several intensive meditation retreats in various Buddhist traditions. He is a graduate of the 2011 IDP Teacher Training Program, holds a BA in psychology and biology from York College, and has also completed work toward becoming a hospital chaplain through the New York Zen Center for Contemplative Care. He is currently attending graduate school to become a physician's assistant. He is grateful to all his teachers and the teachings he's received, and wishes all good things for all beings, everywhere.
This is a drop-in event, and advance registration is not necessary. We're offering it on a donation basis, and ask each participant to contribute $5 - $10 to support this and other initiatives led by The Interdependence Project.

Class attendence
Hello, if I cannot attend the first class but am very interested in learning how to meditate, will it be a problem to come to the second class or is this cumulative and I will be behind?
Thank you,
Stephanie
