SUMMARY:Meditation For Hope And Healing - Local Classes
DESCRIPTION:Meditation For Hope And Healing				\n				\n				\n				\n									with Dean Nicholson\nDo you find yourself stressed by all the troubling news that bombards us every day?  Are you experiencing anger\, anxiety or hopelessness\, and not sure what you can do to make a difference? \nDevelop peace and calm as you practice a powerful guided meditation technique that creates hope and healing to carry throughout your day. \nWhen: Thursdays 7:00-8:00 pm MST from Jan 29 – Mar 5\, 2026 \nWhere: In-Person: Mountain View Therapeutics\, 14 A 13 Ave S #204\, Cranbrook\, BC V1C 2V3 \nCost: Pay-from-the-heart (Dāna) \n  \n— \nCurious? Before this series starts\, you’re invited to enjoy our online guided meditations. 								\n				\n					\n		\n				\n			\n						\n				\n																														\n				\n				\n				\n									\n					\n						\n									Register Now\n					\n					\n				\n								\n				\n				\n				\n									\n					\n						\n									Questions? Click To Contact Us (or call 250 429 3920)\n					\n					\n				\n								\n				\n					\n		\n					\n		\n				\n						\n					\n			\n						\n				\n									About these Community Meditation Classes\nThese community classes help you develop a stronger meditation practice both on and off the cushion. \nThese classes run semi-regularly throughout the year at Clear Sky or locally in Cranbrook\, interspersed with our other retreats and offerings. \nDrop ins are welcome\, and we also encourage you to attend all classes if possible. 								\n				\n					\n		\n					\n		\n				\n						\n					\n			\n						\n				\n									\n					\n						\n									Register\n					\n					\n				\n								\n				\n					\n		\n					\n		\n				\n						\n					\n			\n						\n				\n					Course Cost: Dāna				\n				\n				\n				\n									 \n \n\nWe offer this course on the basis of dāna.  If you’re not familiar with dāna\, you may have come across related approaches such as “pay from the heart.” \nDāna is a Sanskrit term that translates as “generosity” in English. The practice of generosity is central to spiritual unfoldment\, whatever path you follow. In our own Buddhist lineage\, teachings have always been given on the basis of dāna\, and we are committed to this practice and its development in the West. \nDāna is a radical and – we believe – viable economic alternative to capitalism. We all know there must be something better than capitalism or its hungry cousin\, consumerism. We maintain that\, together\, we can offer a financial model that is based in life-affirming mutual support. Please join us in co-creating this promising economic alternative. \nFor this course\, we give a suggested range $20-50 per class (which would be $80-200 for the 4-week series).  You are welcome regardless of what you are able to offer.  \n								\n				\n				\n				\n																														\n				\n				\n				\n									 \n \n\nTo help you choose an amount that feels right for you\, we recommend this heart-based exercise from our friends at Planet Dharma.  \n\nChecking in with your heart\n1) Take a few quiet breaths and center yourself. Spend a few moments to reflect on each of the below: the beauty and integrity of dāna practice; the value of receiving direct teachings from lineage holders in a recognized spiritual tradition; the reality of your financial situation. \n2) Spend another few moments contacting a sense of health\, strength and abundance. You have a healthy mind\, a body\, senses\, the good karma to have heard the teachings\, and conditions to support your practice of Dharma. Celebrate this! \n3) Now check with your heart and mind what amount feels both consistent with your situation\, and expressive of your aspiration. \n\n\nIt’s our joy to offer this course\, and we trust you’ll match our time\, energy\, and passion by giving an amount of money that feels good and healthy to both you and us. \n\n								\n				\n				\n				\n									\n					\n						\n									Register Now

The practice of generosity is central to spiritual unfoldment\, whatever path you follow. In our own Buddhist lineage\, teachings have always been given on the basis of dāna\, and we are committed to this practice and its development in the West. \nDāna is a radical and – we believe – viable economic alternative to capitalism. We all know there must be something better than capitalism or its hungry cousin\, consumerism. We maintain that\, together\, we can offer a financial model that is based in life-affirming mutual support. Please join us in co-creating this promising economic alternative. \nFor this course\, we give a suggested range $20-50 per class (which would be $80-200 for the 4-week series).  You are welcome regardless of what you are able to offer.  \n								\n				\n				\n				\n																														\n				\n				\n				\n									 \n \n\nTo help you choose an amount that feels right for you\, we recommend this heart-based exercise from our friends at Planet Dharma.  \n\nChecking in with your heart\n1) Take a few quiet breaths and center yourself. Spend a few moments to reflect on each of the below: the beauty and integrity of dāna practice; the value of receiving direct teachings from lineage holders in a recognized spiritual tradition; the reality of your financial situation. \n2) Spend another few moments contacting a sense of health\, strength and abundance. You have a healthy mind\, a body\, senses\, the good karma to have heard the teachings\, and conditions to support your practice of Dharma. Celebrate this! \n3) Now check with your heart and mind what amount feels both consistent with your situation\, and expressive of your aspiration. \n\n\nIt’s our joy to offer this course\, and we trust you’ll match our time\, energy\, and passion by giving an amount of money that feels good and healthy to both you and us. \n\n								\n				\n				\n				\n									\n					\n						\n									Register Now
