I’m really glad you’re doing this! I’ve always thought that the whole refrain of “my brain is too busy for me to meditate” is kind of like saying “my skin is too dirty to shower.” It’s like, “that’s the point!” Once I stopped trying to stop my thoughts, meditation became easy — because I realized that for that 5-10-15-30 minutes, my only job, the one thing that I had to do — was just sit there. It’s such a relief! Hope the workshop goes well.

Will there be a recording of this available after? I can’t make that time but would like to learn this.
