Weekly Meditation Classes

Main Sanctuary at Santa Barbara Unity Church

Dear Friends,

Since October, 2009, the Santa Barbara Institute for Consciousness Studies has hosted the SBI Study Group which continues to meet on a monthly basis, facilitated by Vidya Gauci, under the guidance of Alan Wallace. Presently, the group is studying “Genuine Happiness” by Alan Wallace.

The group sincerely requested that we meet once a week for meditation practice together. We therefore have a wonderful opportunity to practice meditation in a group setting at the (very quiet) Sanctuary of Santa Barbara Unity Church every Monday evening from 7:00 to 8:15 p.m.

Vidya Gauci leads Shamatha (Calm Abiding) meditation as described in B. Alan Wallace's book, Attention Revolution. There are two guided 24-minute sessions, and a short break in between sessions to stretch. As time permits, Vidya is also available for assistance in guidance of personal practice.

Unity Church has graciously offered this sacred space for our use at the exceptionally discounted rate of $100 per month ($25 per week). Alan has requested that those who participate kindly make a donation to SBI to cover this cost. Donations can be made by cash or check to SBI, and will be collected weekly at each meeting.

Chair seating is provided, but if you wish to sit with cushions or practice in supine position with yoga mats, please bring these with you. Also, please bring your own bottled water if you wish. Any further questions, you may contact Vidya at vidyagauci@cox.net

Sincerely,

Vidya Gauci
