Mindfulness Meditation: For Beginners and Beyond (In Person)

Find your people, Find your practice. We are a place where community and contemplation meet. No more trying to be mindful alone.The Hive exists to develop creative, compassionate, and mindfully-engaged citizens in the Cincinnati region through small group classes and workshops. We have curated a collective of proven teachers, facilitators, and spiritual directors to help guide your learning in mindfulness, contemplation, art and action. We hope you'll try a class and like it enough to become a regular member. Your partnership helps make this nonprofit possible.(As a social enterprise, the Hive shares our story with photos of classes and events. If you are opposed to sharing your lovely face let is know and we'll do our best to avoid that. But by using an event ticket you agree to let The Hive share your image in photo, audio, and video.)

Geared towards beginners, there will be information from a Buddhist perspective for anyone with or without meditation experience. </p><p>The class will cover: </p><ul><li>Sitting posture: particularly the biomechanics of how to attain a comfortable sitting position that does not distract from meditation</li><li>Breath: as an anchor, mechanics and energy of breathing </li><li>Movement as meditation or a means to engage the body</li><li>Working with thoughts: how they arise and how we can recognize the origin while not getting caught in the context or content of our story</li><li>Working with emotions</li><li>How meditation can be of assistance navigating through difficult challenges</li><li>How mindfulness helps us create space and less reactivity in our lives</li><li>Considered the foundation of mindfulness, the concepts of vipassana (insight) and samatha (tranquility or calmness of mind) will also be explored.</li></ul><p>Peter Dorsa began his journey in meditation in 2001 when he came upon a small book “The Miracle of Mindfulness”, by Thich Nhat Hanh, also known as Thay. In 2007 he had the good fortune to attend a six day silent retreat led by Thay. That was life changing.</p><p>In 2008, life circumstances led him to New York and he had the opportunity to study Tibetan Buddhism at Kagyu Thubten Choling - a traditional Tibetan Monastery.</p><p>In 2013, he relocated to Cincinnati and while looking for a teacher, came upon a program called the Power of Awareness by Jack Kornfield and Tara Brach. Through the course of this program he was led to their Mindfulness Meditation Teacher Certification Program, which is the basis for this class.</p><h3>Updated Covid Considerations: Consistent with new CDC guidance, masks are no longer required indoors at the Hive. Individuals may choose to wear a mask for personal protection, and as always, we ask anyone who is feeling sick or has a high temperature to not attend until they are recovered.
