About Camas Meditation Group

We are a small, informal group that meets each Sunday evening to share in meditation together. The goals are to have an opportunity to learn meditation practices from several traditions, to experience the energy of meditating in a group, and to share our experiences with our own practice. Above all, I hope that the group will serve as encouragement for our own individual practice.

There are many possible reasons for wanting to meditate. It is true that meditation can help us relax, help us cope with stress, encourage healthy balance and build calm and equanimity. Above all, however, meditation helps us to understand the process of our mind, and through that understanding begin to experience the true nature of the world and our place in it.

Whatever reason you have for wanting to meditate we hope that you will find a place that you can share with others on the path. If you live close to us (Camas / Washougal / Vancouver Washington, in the Portland Metro area) we hope that you will consider joining us. Absolute beginners or seasoned meditators welcome!

New Camas/Vancouver Meditation Location from May 8th 2011!

Hi all,

I am delighted to tell you that Tenaya and VeAnne, the owners of the Breathe Yoga and Massage Studio in East Vancouver, have generously offered us the use of their space for meditation on Sunday evenings. I visited the space yesterday and it is truly beautiful, has great energy, and will be a perfect place for us to continue our practice.

The studio is very conveniently located at 17030 SE 1st Street, Suite 102, Vancouver WA 98684. You can see a map and more details about the other services Breathe offers at their website: http://www.breatheyogavancouver.com/contact-us

Here are the details: We will meet one last time at my house next week, May 1st. Then from May 8th onwards we will meet weekly Sunday evenings at Breathe yoga from 7 until 8:30ish.

We will continue to center our meditation around Metta/Lovingkindness practice, but as we are once again weekly we will also include some other forms. As always, all meditation sessions will be free, open to all and suitable for beginners. This is a great opportunity to invite new friends and family who may be interested in starting a practice, so feel free to let others know about this. Also, my mailing list isn't necessarily 100% up to date, so please spread the word!

There will be a small number of cushions, mats or chairs available -- but if you have your own then it will be a great help if you can bring them.

Please join me in Gassho/Namaste to thank Tenaya and VeAnne for their generosity. And thanks to all of you for your support during this transition period.

     Metta, Chris.
