SUNDAY SITS
Led by guiding teacher, Victor Byrd
3:00 to 5:00 P.M.
THE UNITY CHURCH OF LONG BEACH
935 E. Broadway, Long Beach, CA 90802
(Located on the north side of Broadway, in the middle of the block, between Alamitos and Bonito)
 Please use the red steps at the front of the church to enter. The glass door on the right will be unlocked.
Every Sunday we begin with a 30 minute sit which is followed by a dharma talk and group discussion (which takes an hour). We conclude with another 30 minute sit, ending with metta (lovingkindness) practice.
Street parking is free, but not always plentiful. We have made arrangements to park our cars in a nearby restaurant parking lot, but you must display a pass in the back window of your car so it is visible. (If you prefer to "back in" to a parking space, display the pass in the windshield where it is easily seen). For information about parking, maps and to download a copy of the parking pass please click. Parking passes are available at our sits as well.
We have to set up the room every Sunday, so please come a little early and help out. It's a great way to be of service and get to meet some terrific people, too.
Questions? Please email Ann.
THURSDAY SITS
7:30 P.M. to 9:00 P.M. You are invited to attend our mid-week, peer-led
meditation sit on Thursday evenings.
We rotate
houses in the Long Beach area, Addresses and phone numbers are below, with email contacts. You can also email for general information. You will need to bring
your own sitting gear, but chairs will be available.
Dan's address and phone number: 371 Molino, Long Beach, CA 90814. The meditation room is behind the house. Walk to the end of the driveway and make a right. If there is no street parking, park your car in the very long driveway. Dan's cell phone is (323) 527-5531. For more information, please email Dan at thursdaysits@longbeachmeditation.com
For Silvana's address and directions, please call her at (562) 930-1133.
BEGINNERS CLASS IN BASIC VIPASSANA
MEDITATION TECHNIQUE -- First Sunday of every month!
WHEN: 1:30 to 2:30 P.M., the first Sunday of every month
WHERE: The Unity Church of Long Beach (the same location as our Sundays sits--the address and directions are above).
Street parking is free, but not always plenitful. We have made arrangements for you to park in a nearby restaurant lot, but you must display a pass in the back window of your car so it is visible. For information about parking, maps and to download a copy of the parking pass please click.
WHAT: Our teacher discusses the fundamentals of Vipassana meditation, such as identifying an object of meditation, staying with it (concentration) and being aware of what is happening right now (mindfulness). There will be a short practice period and time for questions. We have sitting gear and chairs on hand.
WHY: Ever wonder what "we do" when we sit our tush on the cush? This class is an excellent opportunity, especially to those of you who are new to meditation, to learn helpful techniques and jump start your practice.
COST: These classes are free (like all of our sits). Dana is voluntary and appreciated. Questions? Please email Ann.
