Introduction to Meditation and Mindfulness
Instructor Mark Kelland Ph.d
Various forms of meditation/contemplative prayer are a part of most religions and spiritual traditions.  From more active forms, such as Kriya-Yoga or Tai Chi, to focused forms such as Vipassana, Kirtan, or Mantra Yoga, to the enigmatic, such as Zen no-thinking, there is something for everyone.  Mindfulness goes deeper than basic meditation, and applies to every moment of our lives.  This course will provide an introduction to several forms of meditation, and provide a setting for beginning a meditation practice.
