Meditation and Modern Buddhism

Sometimes taking some time to relax is just what we need, especially in the midst of the holidays. We are hosting a 3 session mini retreat for you to take some time and settle your mind. This retreat will emphasize the practice of mindfulness. Taking some time for yourself to be peaceful will be a gift to everyone around you as you bring your peace of mind and tranquility into their lives with strengthened mindfulness. You can join this retreat at any time that fits your schedule. The three sessions will be available for one week after the original broadcast.

This retreat is part of a special meditation program we offer at KMC Houston.  The program is designed to help people improve and enjoy meditation practice.  It consists of four unique, online, urban meditation retreats.  The retreats are approximately every six weeks (September 19, October 31, December 27, and February 13).

The retreats coincide with the conclusion of each of the four unique series of meditation classes that we hold on Thursday nights. You can drop in for any Thursday Meditation Class. These classes are structured as a set of brief series of topics. Attending the whole series will let you understand an aspect of meditation.  The subjects include: Introduction to Buddhist Meditation, Foundations of a Strong Meditation Practice, Meditation and Mindfulness, & How to Practice Buddhist Meditation. There is no attendance requirement. You do not need to attend the classes in order.

You can join the classes and retreats as you like. The structure was prepared to allow people to enjoy meditation and to improve their practice, while still allowing people to join at any time. The class series and retreats will be repeated again in the fall.  This means everyone who has the wish can attend all 24 classes and develop a strong understanding of meditation and have the benefit of guided meditation.
