Drop-In Meditation Group
A chance to sit and practice together, with opportunities for connection, discussion, and Q&A.
Themes will be based on the needs of the participants with a focus on authenticity, self-compassion, dealing with negative thoughts, and finding our own path towards peace amid a chaotic mind.
Open to anyone who is interested, regardless of experience or background. All you need is a relatively stable internet connection. And even then, I will do my best to record and post all meditations online.
I use Zoom for all online connections. Instructions will be emailed upon registration.
Given the current economic uncertainty, this group will be offered as a pay what you can/donation based class.
