Wake Up to Your Life in Columbus Ohio

The "Wake Up to Your Life” (or WUTYL, pronounced woo til) group of Columbus, Ohio is a small, nonsectarian Buddhist group that meets weekly to meditate and to study the Buddhist teachings of Ken McLeod, Stephen Batchelor, Reggie Ray, Larry Rosenberg, Martine Batchelor, and other western teachers.

We learn to apply practical Buddhist tools to our daily lives in order to become increasingly open to the mystery of the present moment. Though we view regular meditation practice as one key element to becoming more fully awake and alive, we seek to develop a type of practice that we can recall throughout the day, whether on or off the cushion. We don't just try to fit a meditation practice into our lives. We bring our lives into our practice.

WEEKLY MEDITATION SCHEDULE:

SUNDAYS: 4-6:00 PM  "BEGINNER'S GROUP" 

30 minutes of meditation instruction, followed by 60 minutes to apply the instruction (with 10 minutes of walking meditation).  We end with thirty minutes to discuss our meditation experience.  Led by Jim Ellsworth.  Held at 13 E. Tulane, just up from the Cup O' Joe coffee shop in Clintonville.
