Through practicing mindfulness and meditation we can access our inherent stillness and expansiveness that allow us to hold the dynamic complexities of this precious human experience. Sitting together, we are able to support each other's practice and the personal intentions that inspire us to bring this inner peace  into our awareness so that we can access it in our everyday lives. 

Each week, the teacher will offer a topic for discussion, meditation guidance, and the opportunity to sit together in stillness. 

This program will be recorded and made available for on-demand viewing after the live session. On-demand videos will be available to registered participants for 90 days.
