BRUNSWICK — The Brunswick Shambhala Meditation Center, located at 19 Mason St., will offer a fiveweek class, “Creating as Meditation in Action,” on Tuesday nights from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m., starting Sept. 4.

There will be no class on Sept. 18.

The class will introduce meditation practice and experientially teach how the resulting greater awareness is brought to activities in daily life.

The class offers an introduction to meditation, discussion on readings from True Perception by Chögyam Trungpa Rinpoche and experiential exercises from the Shambhala Art program.

A news release describes the class as follows:

Shambhala Art is a fourweekend program that explores the benefits of meditation in the creative process. Meditation master Trungpa Rinpoche demonstrated, through his own mastery, how the practice of post meditation activities, such as the contemplative arts of calligraphy, ikebana (Japanese flower arranging), poetry or photography can train one to extend meditative awareness seamlessly into everyday life. His teachings remind students to appreciate the uniqueness of everyday sensory experience and express that freshness of experience in their creations.

The Brunswick/Portland Shambhala Meditation Center is a nonprofit organization that serves a wide area from Portsmouth, N.H., north to Farmington, and east to Camden. It is affiliated with Shambhala International, a worldwide nonprofit association of meditation centers founded by the Venerable Chögyam Trungpa.

The class fee is $40, plus $15 materials fee. All are welcome. Discounts are available. For more information contact Maura Shepard at maurashephard@gmail.com or 617-308-8637. Register online at www.shambhalabp.org.
