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 the first Saturday of each month 9-10am (crown point; please see calendar) and will consist of mindfulness in nature meditation 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.
