Soup and Serenity, Freedom and Peace, and Finances This Week

Here's a look at what's happening on the Port Jefferson this week.

• Soup and Serenity: In our busy lives we often don't see the connection between our state of mind and our daily experiences. Please join us to learn practical methods and meditations to transform our stressful life into one of clarity and positive energy. Then enjoy a bowl of homemade soup and good conversation. Drop in to any class with Maggie Cooper starting on Jan. 8 at 12:30 p.m. at the Dipamkara Meditation Center, 301D East Main Street. $5.00 (Free for Members of the Center)
• Step by Step to Freedom and Peace. Join us for this course in which we’ll explore a simple but life-changing series of Buddhist meditations called the Lamrim - the stages of the path to enlightenment. We'll learn the basics of how to meditate, how to set up a daily practice, and we’ll explore in detail each one of the meditations that make up the stages of the path to freedom and peace. The class starts on Jan. 7 at 7 p.m. at the Dipamkara Meditation Center, 301D East Main Street.
• Guided Meditation: Healing Your Inner Spirit: Meditation is a simple yet profound method to improve the quality of our lives. With practical instruction we can learn to gain the inner peace we seek. Class led by Meditation Practitioner Juliane Renee on Jan 8 at 7 p.m. at the Port Jefferson Free Library.
