Jeff Stanford
Reverend

Jeff was trained as an anthropologist focusing on religion and culture, doing fieldwork in the 1970’s human potential movement. He learned that the changes sought by those in the movement must come from a new relationship with life, which, for him, began in the kitchen where decisions affect the practitioner and the planet. Jeff is a dowser working with energy, which led him to a vegan lifestyle.

What Meditation Isn’t – A conversation about “thoughtful meditation.” Jeff Stanford approaches meditation as inquiry – exploring what it is not. Meditation is beyond relaxation, which itself is healthful and important. Active meditation approaches the very nature of ourselves and life. It is the cultivation of a sensitive awareness that leads beyond thought. You’ll discuss tools to get started, if you are beginning to learn about meditation. Surprising as well as interesting and fun!
