Our drop-in mindfulness meditation classes are for people who are looking to practice mindfulness meditation and engage in dialogue about bringing mindfulness into every day life. A supportive mindfulness teacher will offer you a guided practice and time for question and answer after your experience of mindfulness practice.
Classes are offered at various locations on Sundays 10am-11am and Mondays 12:30-1:15 (please see calendar) and will consist of mindfulness meditation (guided by the class teacher) that is followed by a dialogue/inquiry to the experiences from practice.
These classes are open to anyone who is new to mindfulness practice, is learning to develop a consistent and regular meditation practice and/or someone who has an established mindfulness practice and is looking for community and support.
