Erik Dennes

Aug 21, 7:00 - 8:00 pm

You are invited to de-stress from your work week with a Friday evening meditation. This twice-monthly session uses chant (repetitive singing of a mantra) and breath to calm your body and mind, and create the conditions for effective one-pointed concentration in meditation. Enjoy two rounds of chanting of the Sanskrit mantra accompanied with tanpura (an Indian drone instrument used as a background for Indian classical music) and silent meditation.

No registration required. $15 suggested donation

This instruction lineage has as its foundation the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali. Erik also studies Tibetan Buddhism at the DGCEC and has been an active member since 2006.
