Deepen Your Meditation Practice in Community: A Weekly Drop-In Class For Meditators

This class is for individuals who have a regular meditation practice (1+ years of practice) who would like to practice in community with a skilled facilitator. Half of the class will be dedicated to practice and half of the class will be dedicated to discussing the intersection of our lives and our practice in a space of acceptance and community.

While the class is designed for individuals who practice meditation regularly, beginners are welcome with the understanding that instruction will be limited.
