Cayce Howe Meditation |
Cayce Howe has 25 years of meditation experience in a variety of traditions but he feels the strongest ties with the Kagyu lineage of Tibetan Buddhism. His passion for meditation has led him to live and work at mediation retreat centers for nearly 6 years. He completed a one-year meditation retreat in the Tibetan Buddhist tradition in 2008. After experiencing a powerful lesson in compassion and the power of mindfulness, in the form of caregiving for a loved one in chronic pain for over 7 years, he decided to devote himself to help others cope with suffering using meditation. Cayce teaches Basics of Mindfulness, Buddha's Path, Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction, and intermediate classes for InsightLA. He also leads the InsightLA Long Beach Sunday Sitting Group. |
