Meditation for Fidgety Skeptics – Nosara

I have been the farthest reaches of the mind and it was dirty there

This 2.5 hour afternoon workshop at the Harmony Hotel in Nosara, Costa Rica, will be a relaxed and practical distillation of what meditators have been learning for 2,500 years.

The workshop will focus on practice, on the exploration and common-sense application of four key meditative skills – simplicity, clarity, equanimity and compassion – and how they can be mixed and matched to create the right customized practice. That means you’ll be meditating, and you’ll be listening to each other share insights and experiences, and some of you may nod off in the back. Which is fine as long as you don’t snore. Open to all experience levels.

Cost: $40.

Why bother meditating? Because it makes life better. A meditation technique is said to “work” if, in a reasonable time frame, it delivers at least one of the following:

·    Reduction of stress and reactivity
·    Elevation of fulfillment and connection
·    Deeper knowledge of who you are
·    Positive behavioural change
·    Increased spirit of friendliness and service
