ABOUT
Why Mindfulness Meditation?
Living mindfully in a chaotic and fragmented society is difficult. Knowing oneself is key to engaging with the world with understanding, compassion, and love. Mindfulness supports us in relating to the complexities of modern life, improving mental health, reducing stress, and offering a sense of general well-being.
Learning to be mindful is best embraced, cultivated, and practiced within a supportive community.
What Can I Expect? This is an introductory secular-focused mindfulness meditation class. Your teacher will lead you through a series of instructions, guided meditation practices, and opportunities for Q&A.
This offering is free to the community.
Class is 30 minutes in length.
