Empowered Yoga offers a weekly meditation class on Fridays from 6 – 7:30 p.m. Where yoga trains the body, meditation trains the mind. We are delighted to offer this complementary discipline to enrich your experience at Empowered Yoga.
The class will be based on the practice of mindfulness-awareness, which is the foundation of all meditation. Each class will begin with formal meditation instruction, followed by intervals of sitting practice, walking meditation, discussion, and readings drawn from the contemplative tradition. The class is open to all levels of yoga students and is non-sectarian in orientation.

| This class will be taught by Alison Driscoll, who began meditating in the early 80s and began teaching meditation in the mid -90s through Shambhala International. She has spent time in group and solitary meditation retreats over the years and says: “The world would be a much different and better place if everyone experienced the simple and profound impact of a meditation practice.” Alison, whose professional background is in holistic health and communications, recently moved with her husband to Wilmington from Boston. |

The Art of Being Human
Discovering basic goodness in the world and ourselves.
Shambhala Training Level I: The Art of Being Human is the beginning of the Shambhala Training path – a series of weekend retreats that are an effective way for students of any tradition to learn to meditate. This first level focuses on the basic technique of mindfulness-awareness meditation. By settling the mind, we begin to experience the brilliance of the world beyond our habitual patterns and conceptual filters, the quality of basic goodness we can neither create nor destroy.
Shambhala Training is a secular meditation training that develops fearlessness, confidence, openness and gentleness towards ourselves and our world. These qualities arise out of meditation practice and study of Shambhala warriorship. Shambhala Training welcomes people of all religious traditions as well as those who do not follow a particular spiritual path.
This is a multiple day event. Friday's programme runs from 7pm-9pm, Saturday's and Sunday's programme will begin at 11am and concluding at approximately 6pm.
In Shambhala Training Level 1: The Art of Being Human, we will learn to experience the world as sacred and see basic goodness as our birthright.
