Communicating With The Heart Mind

This coming Thursday, we will be exploring one of the most powerful and challenging aspects of living in human society - communication! Please join us in considering the potential for mindful communication to help us become more truthful, compassionate, and flexible in our relationships with ourselves and our world. Afterward, we will go practice with treats and drinks at a cozy, nearby restaurant/coffee shop/bar. ------- Here's some more general info about our group: Who: Anyone in Austin between 18 and 36 who is curious about or committed to meditation and community. We insist that you come as you are - with lots of meditation experience or none, wearing sweatpants or a three-piece-suit, talkative, quiet, optimistic, or grumpy. What: The Young Meditators Group meets twice monthly to learn about and practice basic meditation techniques, to explore ways to apply mindfulness to our lives on and off the cushion, and to discuss our experience of the world with one another. We also go for an optional hangout after each meeting at a coffee shop or bar for snacks, drinks, and friendship. When: First and Third Thursdays of each month from 7-8:30 p.m. Where: Austin Shambhala Center, 1702 South Fifth Street, Austin, Texas 78704 (at the corner of S 5th at W.
