Monday Evenings, June 8 – August 31, Half Daylong June 28 (see full schedule below).
Outdoors in Boulder area parks.

This group will support and deepen your meditation practice and catalyze spiritual growth. Our meetings, held outside in local parks (under shelters if rain), will be time for deeper connection with nature, our self, and others. Our love of being outdoors and appreciation of beauty will bring us into healing and spiritual realization.
 
Participants will develop an increased sensitivity and appreciation for being in nature. This leads to a deeper connection with our being, which is really the source of peace and happiness. Direct Path meditation is relaxing into being, rather than trying to make something happen. In this group we will enjoy the Direct Path approach together, outside, where our instinctive love of nature opens our hearts. We realize that love is not something we have to learn, earn, or practice: love is who we are.
 
All of this will be fostered in an open and supportive group environment. Our meetings include sharing and listening, talks, instruction, meditation, questions and discussion. They are informal, relaxed, and enjoyable; yet honor your most serious intentions for personal and spiritual growth. 

• Ten Monday evenings in Boulder parks, 7-9PM, 6:30-8:30PM in August

This group is best suited for people with some meditation experience who want to go deeper. It’s not an introduction, but rather a place to refine and expand in a committed community.

Many participants return, creating a safe, welcoming sangha for those that are new to the group. If you’re unsure whether this is right for you, Johann is happy to talk with you about it: please reach out by email at johannrobbins@comcast.net with any questions or to set up a time to talk.

• The group is offered on a structured donation/Dana basis—everyone gives within their means, and all are welcome regardless of amount.
• A suggested range is $350–$500, but that is not a requirement or a limit, and whatever you choose to give is received with gratitude.
• Unless arranged otherwise, $100 is due with your application as a non-refundable deposit, and the rest of your Dana pledge is due by the first meeting.
