Claiming a peaceful and content life: using meditation, Buddhist principles and nature.
The aim of this program is to provide and help develop a set of tools to claim a peaceful and content life. Zazen, or sitting meditation, will be the primary focus of the program. Additional forms of meditation such as Kinhin, or walking meditation, visualization and movement activities such as yoga will be discussed.
Buddhist principles, mindfulness and nature as a healing tool will be an underlying focus of the program.
Each session will include practical examples and a meditation period followed by a time for discussion, education and sharing.
Please join us and experience how meditation can change your life for the better.
Bio
Dr. Joseph P Miller
I am a retired Army Colonel and Physician with more than 26 years of active service and deployments to Iraq in 2003 and 2009. Personal issues along with a difficult life event lead me to Zen Buddhism in early 2019. Buddhist practice greatly helped my wellbeing but it wasn’t until I completed the August 2020 VeternRites Rite of Return, that I discovered that the combination of meditation, Buddhism and the connection to nature can create a degree of contentment and peace I never dreamed was possible.
As I look to my future I hope to be able to aid other service members and veterans in their quest to claim a peaceful and content life.
