This light-hearted video dispels some common misconceptions about meditation.
This blog chronicles the activities of a meditation group in Bancroft, Ontario and provides instruction in insight meditation. Meditation concepts are explained in terms of Western psychology and in terms of the Buddhist concepts from which this style of meditation derives. Dr. Alan McAllister, a psychologist practicing in Bancroft, is the author of the blog and the facilitator of the group which meets periodically for 8-10 sessions twice a year.

Winter 2014 workshop concluded
The winter 2014 workshop has concluded. The theme of mindfulness in action proved to be very fruitful for reflection. I plan to post some of the topics we covered in the future.
The next workshop is planned for October 2014 and will be held in the early evening at the medical centre at 19 Oak Street in Bancroft.
