Thich Hang Dat's Friday Evening Mediation Group: (from Terri Bennett)

411 Hubbards Lane off of Westport Road.  It used to be an old Kingdom Hall and looks like a ranch house.  Parking is in the back and meditation begins at 6:30 PM.  We are done around 8 PM after 30 minutes of seated (on a chair) meditation followed by 15 minutes of walking meditation. 

Before we leave, Tiche Hang Dat (not sure about the spelling of his name though) explains another bit about meditating.

GreenList Louisville: There is a growing movement in Louisville committed to a local and sustainable lifestyle. There are lots of people just beginning to come on board. There are resources available if you know where to look or know the key words to search online. And of course there is word of mouth…Now all we need is a way to pull this together. One place to list it all.

MEDITATION FOR BEGINNERS

This class is for those interested in learning or becoming re-familiar with the practice of meditation. It includes: basic instructions in a method of Christian insight meditation; the psychological and scriptural underpinnings of the practice; a map of the inner world; and guidance for applying these teachings in daily life.
