Concord Library to host Better Sleep Through Mindfulness Workshop

Mindfulness Session

CONCORD – Struggling to sleep well? Mindfulness can help! Join us at the Concord Free Public Library on Thursday, November 8th from 7:00 - 8:00 p.m. for a session on Better Sleep Through Mindful Practice. The event will take place in the Trustees Room of the Main Library at 129 Main Street.

In this session, we’ll explore ways to turn off the ruminating mind and enhance relaxation. Learn how mindful wellness practices engage the parasympathetic nervous system, which cues the body to rest and relax. We’ll consider scientific evidence that shows how over time, mindfulness practice creates structural changes in the brain that reduce stress and enhance overall well-being. Find your personal way to unwind a roving mind, soothe the body (even when experiencing pain), and set yourself up for a great night’s sleep.

The session will be led by Lara Wilson, MA, GCMS, a lifelong writer and meditator who recently established a collaborative non-profit mindful wellness space in Concord, Be Well Be Here, where all are invited to explore how mindfulness and the creative process enhance overall well-being.
