Program Updates from The 3 Doors
The Joy of Embodied Presence, Compassion Project Retreat, Next North American Academy
The 3 Doors is offering several events in 2018, including an interactive online program focusing on the doorway of the body, a residential retreat for Compassion Project participants and a new North American 3 Doors Academy.
The Doorway of the Body
Start the New Year by refreshing and deepening your meditation practice through the doorway of the body with senior 3 Doors teacher Laura Shekerjian. The Joy of Embodied Presence is a four-week interactive online meditation program that explores the body as a powerful doorway into open awareness and the vibrancy of direct experience. Through simple practices of breath and movement, participants will connect with the deep stability of the body’s stillness and discover the aliveness of the present moment.
The first online class meets on Saturday January 20, 2018 (8–11 a.m. PST), with following classes on January 27, February 3 and February 10 (8–9:30 a.m. PST). Early-bird discount available until December 20. There are 25 spaces available.
