Many thanks to the Rutter Mill Park Association for their care of this lovely public space that makes a perfect Sheng Zhen classroom.
What About Rain?
Summer Rain rules apply: If it's pouring rain at 5:15, we probably won't be there. But if it's anything up to that, we probably will. The drizzle keeps the crowds away, and I'm betting we can still find space to meditate in the rain under the gazebo. Waterproof yourself and join us if you want .
Our 1-hour classes focus on both seated forms like, Sheng Zhen Healing, and standing forms like, Heaven Nature Heart Mantra. These forms are easy to learn, and quickly provide great benefits to students.
No mats or chairs are needed, but if you have a meditation stool, bring it. Simply wear comfortable clothing that stretches.
Please be mindful of everyone’s health when attending class. We have a large, open indoor spaces for practicing, and we keep at least 6 ft. of personal space around us so we can move. Please feel free to wear a mask, though they are not required at this time. Of course, please do not attend if you are feeling sick.
All classes are FREE. We encourage you to show gratitude to our winter hosts by supporting them using these links:
