Mark Nunberg
This program is offered over Zoom. It is also simultaneously broadcast on Youtube and recorded. See below for more details. The weekly practice groups are designed to be a cornerstone for one's practice by providing ongoing instruction and teachings that will help illuminate the simple but challenging practice of mindfulness. The Buddha taught that mindfulness is the way to go beyond habits of distraction and grasping. To walk this path of wisdom and compassion, we need the support of a community that shares this intention. Each session includes a guided meditation, dharma talk, and discussion. Both experienced and beginning meditators are welcome. No registration necessary. Led by Mark Nunberg and guest teachers. All programs at Common Ground are offered freely in the spirit of generosity. There will be an opportunity for small groups after the Weekly Practice Group, both in person and on Zoom.
