How to Live in the Moment

When we live in the moment and tune in to the constant flux of the world around us, we can stop clinging to the past and future and discover an open, spacious mind. This allows us to relax and respond with creativity to life’s challenges.

In this course, we will explore essential meditations to simplify our life, stop overthinking and recognize subtle impermanence. The result: a joyful, present-centered mindset.

Feel free to drop in to any class, or join the series as a whole. Everyone welcome!
