UNIFYING MEDITATION INSTITUTE 2025 ACTIVITIES: CLASSES ARE TAUGHT EVERY SUNDAY, FOLLOWED BY A GUIDED MEDITATION. SOME CLASSES ALSO INCORPORATE SPIRITUAL MUSIC AND SONGS TO ENHANCE THE MEDITATIVE EXPERIENCE. THOSE WHO ARE LOCAL CAN JOIN US AT THE CENTER, WHILE THOSE WHO ARE NOT LOCAL OR CHOOSE NOT TOO TRAVEL CAN JOIN US BY ZOOM. WE HAVE PEOPLE AS CLOSE AS 1 TOWN OVER THAT JOIN US, AS WELL AS PEOPLE FROM ME, GA, FL, NC, AND SOME INTERNATIONAL LOCATIONS. FOR THOSE INTERESTED IN LEARNING MEDITATION, INTRODUCTION LECTURES ARE AVAILABLE, EITHER INIVIDUALLY OR IN GROUPS, FOLLOWED BY ONE ON ONE LESSONS TO LEARN THE ACTUAL PRACTICE OF MEDITATION. FOR STUDENTS WHO WANT TO CONTINUE LEARNING, WE OFFER LEVEL TEACHINGS, AND ALSO WHAT WE CALL "ROUNDINGS" AS PEOPLE MOVE THROUGH CYCLES OF MEDITATION AND MOVEMENT. THIS CAN BE ONE NIGHT IN RESIDENCE AT THE CENTER, OR UP TO TWO WEEKS. THIS GIVES PEOPLE THE OPPORTUNITY TO DIVE DEEPER INTO THEIR MEDITATION AND MOVEMENT PRACTICES. WE ALSO GATHER FOR SOME OF THE HOLIDAYS AND OFFER THE OPPORTUNITY FOR PEOPLE TO EITHER STAY IN RESIDENCE, OR JUST COME UP TO JOIN US FOR THE DAY. ACTIVITIES INCLUDE MEDITATION, MUSIC, SEMINARS, FOOD, AND DANCING.
