Description
Through a series of very short experiential exercises we gain some insight into how the mind works and learn the essential tools for developing an authentic meditation practice unrelated to dogma or belief systems.
Lecturer Will Duncan will give a lecture on Lessons Learned from Three Years of Silence and lead a workshop titled The Art of Doing Nothing: A Deep Exploration of What Meditation is and What it is Not.
Will Duncan has been formally studying meditation and scripture with his teachers for three decades. He teaches scripture, philosophy and yogic theory throughout the world and is known for bringing humor and lightheartedness into his teaching style. He strives always to show the relevance of ancient scripture in our day-to-day busy lives. In 2014 Will completed a traditional three-year silent meditation retreat.
