Monthly Mahamudra Meditation

Monthly Mahamudra Meditation In-Person and via Recordings

With Rose Taylor Goldfield, San Francisco, CA.

Saturday September 12th, October 17th, November 14th, and December 12th—9.30am to 11.30am

These sessions will be held in our meditation studio in Noe Valley, San Francisco. More details coming soon.

All things inanimate and the animate,

Even down to the creeping vines, grass, the smallest twigs,

And everything else

Are nothing other than one’s own nature.

Meditate with certainty on this genuinely precise reality—

There is nothing better than this.

--The Hevajra Tantra

We have this new opportunity to meet regularly in-person here in San Francisco to practice and study Mahamudra meditation (these sessions will also be video-recorded and available on that medium for long-distance practitioners and to catch up if you need to miss a session). 

We will begin with the Nine Stages of Shamatha (with the corresponding obstacles, antidotes, mental applications, powers, and experiences) to practically ground our meditation experience and to see where we actually are; support our current experience; and learn how to bring the next level of subtlety into our practice. We will also work with the Ninth Karmapa’s text, Ocean of Mystical Meaning, songs from, among others, Tilopa and Milarepa, and Wisdom-Body Lujong Mahamudra movement practices. Through our discussions we will also see how these meditations support us not only in our daily waking life but also in sleeping, dreaming, and dying. 

In these 2-hour sessions, we will spend about half the time in meditation practice, including in movement and song, and half the time in discussion. 

This year, 2026, we will meet these Saturdays 9.30am - 11.30am (2027 session dates will be scheduled later in the year):

September 12th, October 17th, November 14th, and December 12th

These 4 sessions are offered on a sliding scale of $120 to $280—if you need financial assistance, please include that in your email. All sessions will be recorded, if you are attending in-person and need to miss a session, you can catch up via the recordings.
