Aspen Chapel

Insight Meditation

with Lisa Goddard


For 2600 years the practices and teachings of Buddhism have offered a systematic way to see
clearly and live wisely. They have offered a way to discover liberation within our own
bodies and minds, in the midst of this very life.

Through Practice We:

  • Cultivate Awareness
  • Reduce Stress
  • Transform reactivity into wise response 
  • Recognize habitual thoughts and mind states and learn how to not react from them
  • Develop compassion toward ourselves and  kindness toward all beings

Where: We are the chapel by the roundabout as you come into aspen. Specifically here.

What: We (Heather and Nicholas) come from a Christian Episcopal background, however our community draws from all the world’s wisdom traditions with the aim of learning together to live our lives more skillfully.

And there are local musicians from up and down the Roaring Fork Valley to play for us.

Every week we will focus on a topic within a theme.

Light imageAt the moment we are looking at what the topic of 'Gathering in the Light'.
In these troubled times how do we make our way forward. Finding light in the shadow of darkness.
This series is about how to gather the light around us and become sources of light for others.



There will also be prayer and meditation, generally led by Heather, and Nicholas will give a talk on the topic for the day.


Finally, there is an opportunity for discussion and feedback as we pass the microphone around for everyone to join in.

Kids? We also offer childcare with younger children being looked after and given creative ways to look at a topic for the day.

Coffee and Yummies. After the service there is a food and drink reception for everyone to get to know each other a bit more.
