Umdze training/Formation d'umdzé
Saturday, February 4th at 13:00
Monday, April 30th from 19:00 to 21:00

An “umdze” is the time keeper or chant leader for sitting meditation. Being an umdze is an opportunity to deepen your own practice while also serving others. The umdze takes the seat as an elder practitioner providing an example of all the forms we practice in our lineage.  The training is free of charge and there is no obligation to become an umdze after the training.

Prerequisite: open to all Shambhala Centre members who have been coming to the Centre and practising for at least one year. (If you have already trained as an umdze, but have not had the opportunity to lead meditation practice at the Centre for awhile, consider taking this session as a refresher.)

 

Un  «umdzé » est la personne qui dirige la méditation de groupe et les chants. Être umdzé est une occasion d'approfondir sa pratique personnelle tout en servant les autres. Le umdzé s'assoit devant en tant que méditant qui a de l'expérience et donne un exemple des rites de notre lignée. La formation est gratuite et il n'y a aucune obligation de remplir les fonctions d'umdzé après la formation.

Préalable: être un membre du Centre Shambhala qui vient au Centre et qui pratique depuis au moins un an. ( Si vous avez déjà eu la formation mais que vous n'avez pas eu l'occasion de diriger une méditation de groupe au Centre depuis un bout de temps, peut-être pourriez-vous  songer à suivre cette formation comme une mise à jour)
