Learn to Meditate in Denver with Cynthia Drake

Learn to train and calm the mind through the practice of meditation. Ideal for beginners as well as those who would like to stabilize and deepen their meditation experience.

During this one-day intensive at Loews Denver Hotel, we will receive practical instructions for living in an awakened way through peaceful abiding meditation, which connects us with our mind’s inherent stability, clarity, and strength. The program will also include basic grounding in the principles of meditation, as well as contemplative techniques to gain insight into the state of our mind and the state of our life.

For the past 21 years she has taught English as a foreign language, college composition, and literature and worked as an academic advisor. She currently teaches literature at the University of Colorado at Boulder and Contemplative Practice Seminar for first-year students at Naropa University.
