Meditating with the Body:
Explorations in Embodied Spirituality
A weekend with Neil McKinlay

Quadra Community Centre

$140

Intended for practitioners of all levels and traditions, this workshop introduces the work of �Meditating with the Body�. Using a series of exercises adapted from Tibetan Yoga, we are guided into deeper connection with our physical existence and taught how to meditate in a grounded way. Through this, we discover the transformative power of our own lives. We realize spirituality is nothing less than an invitation to enter the human journey. It is a call back from disconnection, into a more fulfilling way of being.

Participants are advised to wear warm, comfortable clothing, and to bring a blanket or mat to lay on. Should participants have a meditation cushion or bench, these are recommended.
