Description: With busy lives, a constant barrage from advertisers, and an enragement economy all working to hijack your attention, learning what your awareness is and developing stronger muscles around how and where to place this awareness, protects the only freedom you have that no one can take away. 

In this 1.5 hour workshop Ken obliterates the popular, false belief that some people can meditate and others just can’t. “I can’t do it,” you say. “I can’t empty my mind. Every time I try to meditate, it’s just a zoo in there.” Guess what- this is true for every human on the planet. Meditation isn’t for people who can magically still their inner world. Meditation is for normal humans to learn how to be with and navigate our monkey minds that are constantly chattering. Ken, a postulant with the World Community of Christian Meditators, will share some of the theory behind what’s happening when we’re meditating, and he will introduce you to several forms of meditation from spiritual and nonspiritual traditions around the world. 

Participants will walk away with an understanding and a practical ability to use the four basic muscles of meditation: concentration; equanimity; clarity; and loving kindness.
