Heart Rhythm Meditation is a simple but quite effective way to connect more deeply with our hearts (and other hearts). It has been developed by Puran and Susanna Bair directly from the teachings of Hazrat Inayat Khan. A lot of background and descriptive information about this meditation practice is available at iamheart.org.
Shirley Norwood attended some of Puran and Susanna's classes in Boston. She has a very nice and conveniently located studio in central Austin and would like to host a weekly study group.
We invite you to come join us weekly, occasionally, or one time to try it out. Doing meditation with a group can often really enhance the meditation experience.
New season from Sept 13 through November 22. Please contact Mabud John Bassett, (512) 925-1347, to confirm.
We plan to meet every Sunday, 6-7 PM at 3321 Hancock Drive.
Her studio is right next to (east - across the alley) from Russell's Bakery and Coffee Bar. This is at the intersection of Balcones and Hancock Dr. about two blocks west of MoPac.
I've been told that our hearts – like puppies, and small children (and adults) – really appreciate and respond to getting some attention.
Be a love dog. Bring your favorite poetry, drums, musical instruments.

Individual guided retreats are offered by Wahhab and Batina Sheets at Hidden Treasure Retreat Center, located on Highway 71 near Smithville, Texas.
