Where there is peace and meditation, there is neither anxiety nor doubt.

Meditation Opportunities

We are offering a series of classes and information sessions on mantra meditation. These are intended to help participants decide if they would like to learn this type of meditation. The actual technique is taught at a traditional ceremony, which will be held in Huntsville at a later date.

One of the following is required in order to attend the ceremony:

  • An online information session OR

  • “Introduction to Meditation” course

Introduction to meditation course - in-person and online

This is a weekly class that centers on the book Being Oneself: The Way of Meditation by F.W. Whiting, which describes the nature and benefits of meditation as evidenced by modern seekers of wisdom that have themselves learned and applied the method.

The book is included in the course fee and will be mailed to students before the first class.

The course will also include information about the meditation ceremony as provided in the meditation information session.

In order to accommodate as many people as possible, each weekly class will be offered online as well as in person.

The material presented any given week will be the same in both venues and registrants are welcome to attend either (or both!) as their schedule permits.

information sessions - online

  • Sunday, October 15th, 6:30 pm - 7:30 pm

  • Tuesday, November 14th, 6:30 pm - 7:30 pm

  • Thursday, December 14th, 6:30 pm - 7:30 pm

Each session describes the type of meditation that is offered, the nature of the ceremony where the mantra is taught, and provides an opportunity to ask any questions. These sessions are online and free to the public.

further details

  • Attendance at the information session or the 5-week course does not imply commitment to attend the meditation ceremony.

  • For those that decide to participate in the ceremony after completing one or more of the prerequisites, a $200 fee is required.

  • The fee is non-refundable, except when inclement weather requires cancellation, or a minimum threshold of five participants is not reached. In either case, the student will have the choice of a full refund or to wait for the next available ceremony.

  • Dates for the ceremony will be finalized once the minimum number of participants has been reached. We are targeting an early 2024 time frame.

  • Once a student has received meditation we offer regular check-up tutorials for guidance and support.
