Meditation In the New Year

Jeremy — Wed, 20 Jan 2010 15:24:38 +0000

Like every January, many of us are working on New Year’s Resolutions. The 40 Days of Meditation event reminded me that meditating more is one of mine. I’m a regular at meditation class here at Sun Dragon, so I thought I’d talk about it a little.

40 Days of Meditation

Jeremy — Sat, 02 Jan 2010 13:49:14 +0000

Meditation is an important part of our karate training. The Winter Feast For the Soul is a global project encouraging people of all faiths to come together and meditate for the next 40 days. While this is not an official Sun Dragon event, we encourage folks to check it out and see if it’s right for you!
