This class, suitable for beginners as well as more experienced meditators, will explore the ways in which meditation can help steady our minds, ground us in experience, and open our hearts. Through guided mediation and discussion, and in a welcoming and encouraging environment, participants will learn the basics of the practice, and explore techniques to use mindfulness to support their daily lives. Chairs and cushions will be available, and all classes are free.
