Free Meditation courses in St. John's NL

Brahmata Michael: I have been meditating with the Sri Chinmoy Centre for 15 years, primarily in Ottawa. Meditation and spiritual practice have added so much to my life: peace of mind, enhanced creativity, more energy, joy, and fulfilment. I believe that these benefits are attainable to everyone, which is why I enjoy teaching free meditation classes. Music is my favourite language. I play guitar and sing meditative songs with the music group, Sangit Surabhi. I enjoy spending time in nature, travelling, and meeting new people, and I look forward to meeting you!

Brahmacharini Michelle Rebidoux has been the leader of the St. John’s Meditation Centre since she moved to Newfoundland from Montreal in 2008. She brings to her meditation classes more than 20 years of experience as a meditator, and also much teaching experience from her work at the university (she teaches religious studies and philosophy at MUN and theology at Queen’s College in St. John’s).

In her spare time, Brahmacharini loves hiking the East Coast trail, practicing yoga, and painting.

Abhijit Emery will be coordinating the 2019 series of courses in St. John’s. Abhijit started the St. John’s meditation centre in 2004 at Sri Chinmoy’s request, and we have been operating continuously since that time (albeit in a modest fashion). The theme of his courses revolves around “Calm the body, quiet the mind, open the heart.”

Abhijit has offered meditation classes in Canada, USA, Australia and Europe. The process of sharing meditation techniques with new people is always uplifting and educational, for the facilitator and student both. Abhijit is usually keen to discuss spiritual topics, in case you have any questions.

Abhijit loves the great outdoors, especially hiking, running, skating, biking, swimming, power-walking & x-country or downhill skiing. Winter is a great season when you are properly prepared for it! (photo shows Abhijit after hiking to a summit across from Taos Ski Valley)
