Sustaining A Deep Practice:
A Mentorship Group with Shaila Catherine

This group is designed to deepen your meditation practice, build supportive relationships with other dedicated meditators, and maintain contact with Shaila Catherine between retreats. This series of eight 90-minute meetings via Zoom gatherings will be somewhat like small group meetings at a retreat. Since the intention is to discuss our current practice, there will not be thematic lectures or pre-designed study curriculum. The group size will be kept small to facilitate intimate dialog. Each meeting will provide opportunities to ask questions or describe your practice and receive a teacher’s response.
