Mariposa Meditations: Connecting Spiritual Development with Nature's Ethic

Overview

Mariposa Meditations is a biweekly gathering of new and seasoned meditators who seek to connect their practice directly to Nature consciousness and enhance the ability of humans to support the lives, dignity, and self-determination of Animals and all Earth beings.

Participants train in Nature Mindfulness™ through guided meditation. Biweekly online sessions begin Saturday November 20, 2021 at 9:00 am Pacific Time, and last 45-60 minutes. After a 20-25 minute guided meditation, followed by a short break, there is a discussion on ideas presented in previous Mariposa Reflections. Sessions will be recorded and made available for a limited time.

Pricing & Registration

Mariposa Meditations sessions are continuous and ongoing throughout the year. You are welcome to join at anytime. Pricing is organized to cover six sessions (three months of biweekly teachings). We offer a sliding scale based on your relative financial standing (prices in $USD). The range between scales not only reflects economic but also historic disparity which have evolved with colonialism and capitalism. For those who have comfortable access to wealth and security, the higher price will provide an opportunity for others to participate in these sessions.

ABOUT INSTRUCTOR

Corey Cohen

Corey attended his first Vipassana meditation retreat in the late 1970’s. Since then, in addition to attending several more retreats and Zen Sesshins, he has been an ongoing student of Eastern philosophy and a mindfulness practitioner, including a seven year long study with a Taoist and Zen priest and frequently attending meditation sessions at Karma Chöling in Vermont.
He has directed meditation programs at several wellness centers, and created and taught a mindfulness program for employees of Harper Collins publishers. He lectures on Eastern thought at the University of Scranton as part of their world religion curriculum.
Corey’s lifelong career working with abused and neglected Dogs has brought him face to face with mindfulness from an Animal’s perspective, blurring the dichotomy between humans and Animals.
