CLEARLAKE, Calif. – A free mediation course will be offered in Clearlake beginning Wednesday, Sept. 12.

The four-week class will be held on Wednesdays from 6:30 p.m. to 8 p.m. for four weeks.

The first three Wednesdays – Sept. 12, Sept. 19 and Sept. 26 – will be at the Redbud Library community room. The fourth week's location will be announced.

The class will provide an introduction to the practice and benefits of the eight-point program of passage meditation, as well as information about free resources to help you get started in this practice.

This method of meditation, developed by Eknath Easwaran, can be followed equally well in any religion or in none. It belongs to no movement, and asks for no change of beliefs.

All are very welcome: there are no prerequisites, no preparation is needed, and you can just show up on the day.

The Redbud Library is located at 14785 Burns Valley Road, Clearlake.
