Prelude to Peace: A Practical Guide to Zen Meditation by Charlotte Hu
A hands-on workshop to calm the mind and find your inner rhythm.
Join pianist Charlotte Hu (spiritual name Hua-Lian, Center Leader of the Philadelphia Zen Meditation Center) for an immersive, hands-on workshop designed to anchor your mind and restore your inner harmony. In Prelude to Peace, Charlotte beautifully bridges her dual worlds of classical music and spiritual practice, guiding participants step-by-step through the foundational techniques of Zen meditation. This practical session is open to the general public and requires no prior experience; you will be gently led through live, guided meditation to experience firsthand how to cultivate immediate stress relief, deep focus, and a resilient, quiet mind amidst the busyness of modern life.
Longevity Motion Zen
Longevity Motion Zen originated when Grandmaster Bodhidharma observed that practitioners spent too much time in stillness and too little in motion, leading to physical weakness and frequent illness. To address this, he taught this extraordinary practice at the Shaolin Temple to help monks cultivate health and strengthen their bodies.
These classes involve movement exercises focused on physical health and inner energy, making them ideal for those interested in motion Zen practice. These simple moves of "Motion Zen" do more than just improve muscular endurance; through the regulation of "Motion Zen," they help us break free from worries and obstacles, allowing the body and mind to feel relaxed, light, and at ease.
