The Five Aggregates with Alex Meyers this Sunday

Dear Community,

Sunday 10am Community Practice & Discussion

With early feelings of spring in the air, my practice has been drawn to embodiment. At a recent meditation at Common Ground, practice focused on the Five Aggregates, one of a few teachings of the Buddha's which break down the felt experience into its component parts. I was moved by the value of this list for understanding embodiment, and look forward to exploring with you all as a continuation of the invitation to "investigate" offered last week.

The Five Aggregates are:

• Body, or physical/manifest experience
• Feeling tones (vedanā), the pleasant/unpleasant/neutral "tone" of experience
• Perception, the classification / interpretation of experience
• Mental formations
• Awareness

We'll spend time in practice and reflection on this teaching, especially the first three. All are welcome! Registration and Zoom information available here.
