Meditation and a Meaningful Life

  • Pacific Cultural Center 1307 Seabright Avenue Santa Cruz, CA, 95062 United States (map)

In the modern world, we have access to almost anything we could ever want: delicious food, fine clothing, the best technology and consumer goods, freedom to travel, and on and on. Yet with all this wealth, we still suffer from stress, anxiety, depression, and a host of other inner struggles. Perhaps one of the greatest poverties of the affluent is a lack of meaning. Meaning is a light of hope that brings joy to each day, a smile to our faces, and tears of gratitude to our eyes. Meditation reveals the meaning of our life. It creates a space within the haste, a space in which we can connect with what is most important to the heart. By slowing the busy mind with meditation, we find beneath it a wealth of meaning right before our eyes.

This meditation and dialogue will teach a simple self-inquiry and visualization meditation that anyone can apply to daily life to find ongoing meaning and richness.
