Weekly Classes

The Mindfulness Meditation Classes are held in a hybrid format (in-person and online) every Friday. The teacher is usually remote, but occasionally present in person. Classes are cancelled when there is a weekend retreat: please check the schedule for specific dates.

To attend in person, please join us at 662 Pape Avenue, Toronto (side entrance, basement) of the Presbyterian Church. This is just a 5-minute walk from Pape Subway Station. No registration is necessary. If you would like to have some orientation with an experienced community member, simply arrive early. 

Parking: Street parking is available. There is also a Green-P parking lot at the Church, one block south of Danforth.

To attend online, please send a request to torontomindfulnesscommunity@gmail.com to receive the link.

Please read our guidance document Your First Visit to TMC, before attending.

On Sept 20 and Nov 8, we will host special Introduction to Mindfulness classes – attendance at these classes is NOT a prerequisite to join us on Fridays.

Classes start at 7:00pm and run until 8:25pm. Please arrive by 6:50pm to get settled in. The class consists of sitting meditation, walking meditation, and a brief talk.

The meditation practice will start promptly at 7:00 with a guided meditation, followed by walking and movement meditation, and then silent practice. There will be a talk to end the session at 8:25pm.

Cost: In the traditional spirit of teachings available to all, there is no defined cost for participation in weekly practice. There is an opportunity to support the session costs with an offering of dana – donation according to one’s means.

Everyone is welcome.

Response Vs Control: Mistakes, Challenges and Grace
 
Dates: September 26. October 3,10,24,31
 
Living in this world with all its machinations and distortions of reality is hard. How can meditation and contemplative practices help us see through this web of distortion in the world and in us? Theodore will discuss how meditation is really our Response to living, and Control is our resistance to change, which is ever-present. He will demonstrate how understanding this brings clarity and the ability to see through the delusion that surrounds us.
