Meditation event with Carl Skooglund set April 6-7

Insight Meditation Community of Lewes will welcome meditation teacher Carl Skooglund for an evening Dharma talk and a half-day meditation retreat with the theme of Calm, Watch and Guide the Mind: The Roots of Practice. Skooglund said the talk is meant to distill the array of teachings and practices encountered these days into something that helps deepen practice. All are welcome to attend this weekend of meditation and discussion.

The Dharma talk of Buddhist teachings, along with discussion and refreshments, will be held from 7 to 8:30 p.m. at St. Peter’s Episcopal Church Parish Hall Friday, April 6. The half-day retreat will be held from 9 a.m. to noon, Saturday, April 7, at the parish hall.
