• Meditation can mean many different things to many different people. Perhaps an easier approach to start with is to clarify what meditation is not. It is not exclusive to one sector of society or a specific type of person or culture. It is not a religion. Meditation is open- ended, free, available to anyone, and offers great benefits.

• Far from being meant to empty your mind, meditation is really meant to connect you to the bigger picture – our inextricable connection to each other and everything. It’s a beautiful practice that can enrich your life, bring you closer to others, yourself and improve your health.

• Why not see what benefits this practice can offer you? This class is intended to introduce meditation in a way that is accessible to everyone, so that you can explore this gratifying practice in a way that will nurture your life and connect you to others.
