Program At The Yoga Center

WOODBURY – Henry Marshall will give a talk entitled “Generosity and Practice: Being Gentle With Ourselves and Our Meditation” at 6:45 pm on Sunday, June 4, at the Woodbury Yoga Center.

Mr Marshall lives in Newtown and works as an accountant in Bridgeport.

He was first attracted to meditation in 1972 when he met guru Maharaji, but it wasn’t until nine years ago that he learned transcendental meditation and began to practice it regularly. He received Kundalini awakening from Anandi Ma four years ago, and discovered the Buddhist practice of insight meditation three years ago. He went on a nine-day Vipassana retreat that emphasized that qualities such as generosity, renunciation and devotion can enhance appreciation of the Buddha’s dispensation.

The June 4 program is free to the public. After the talk and discussion, meditation instructions will be given and a silent group meditation will be held. A social gathering with tea will follow. The yoga center is located at 122 West Side Road in Woodbury. For more information and a schedule of upcoming programs, call 263-2254.
