Weekly Events
Tuesday
Sitting and Walking Meditation and Tai Chi
4:30 - 6:00 pm | ORSL Lounge (169 High St, second floor)
Sitting and Walking Meditation: Come practice unlearning, letting go and simply being your most authentic self. The Small Forest Temple Sitting and Walking Meditation session will consist of 20 minutes of sitting, 10 minutes of walking, 20 minutes of sitting and then a little time for questions and discussion. There will be instruction at the beginning, and silence during the sitting and walking. This traditional practice follows in the Chan lineage (the marriage of Buddhism and Taoism). Please contact Scott Kessel at skessel@wesleyan.edu if you have any questions! Wear clothing that is comfortable to sit and move in.
Tai Chi: Come practice moving with a quiet mind - practice bringing your clear mind off your cushion and into your moment to moment daily life. Each week, the Small Forest Temple Tai Chi session will consist of 10 minutes of sitting, 15-20 minutes of warm ups/stretches and 30-35 minutes of learning the Shaolin Chuan Tai Chi form. There will be instruction throughout the session, and each week will build upon the last. It is best if you can come consistently, but feel free to drop in and check it out anytime as well. Please contact Scott Kessel at skessel@wesleyan.edu if you have any questions! Wear clothing that is comfortable to sit and move in.
