Beginner class at the Garrison weekend retreat

New this year is the possibility of learning Acem Meditation at the weekend retreat.
   You will get instruction and guidance in a beginner class, practice meditation in 30-60 minutes sessions and also exchange experiences with experienced meditators at evening seminars, walk&talk in nature etc.
   This is also a good opportunity to learn Acem Meditation for people living at some distance from New York.  At present Acem do not have capacity to give courses in other cities.  But with full lodging at Garrison this will be a good way of learning the method.
   The course will be lead by the senior instructors Rolf Brandrud and Pär Westlund.  More info and registration.
