About the Event:
Mindfulness meditation is both simple and complex. The power of mindfulness meditation is that when practiced even at the simplest level it eases the stressed and anxious mind. However, the development of the more complex levels, the truly life changing elements of this practice such as ongoing training of the mind and study and investigation -- are minimal at best. In this One-Day Retreat, Theodore will guide participants in basic mindfulness practices and speak about the need to return to the original teachings to help students deepen their daily practice.
About Theodore:
Theodore Tsaousidis’ meditation exploration began as a teenager and then formally in 1983 as a Buddhist student. Today his work is informed by over four decades of traditional Buddhist studies, meditation and social/ecological activism. In 2006, he was authorized by his teacher to teach mindfulness meditation and Buddhist studies. Desiring to teach with depth but without dogma, Theodore took facilitation training for the MBSR/MBCT Programs in 2007. He believes that mindfulness informed by science, psychology, and medicine, as well as traditional Buddhism, provides a foundation to facilitate secular meditation practices that can be useful to everyone in their everyday lives.
