January Series

Making a Meditation Habit

Tuesdays · 7-8:30pm with Zoe Greenbaum

It’s easy to start a new practice and then abandon it for something else. Creating a meditation habit that lasts is an art. You can start the new year right by learning essential techniques for creating a joyful but disciplined meditation practice that will support and sustain you for a lifetime. We will look at the essentials of how to meditate and how to create a consistent, joyful routine. There will be plenty of time for questions and a discussion of how we can refine our practice going forward.

$10 per person. Drop-ins welcome

Take Control Of Your LIfe

Tuesdays · 7-8:30pm with Zoe Greenbaum

Our thoughts and attitudes create all of our experiences. If we want to take control of our life and find the happiness we long for, we must learn how to control our mind. Using meditation and Buddhist wisdom to train our mind, we can reduce negative thinking and learn to think in ways that produce a positive, peaceful outlook. We can respond to daily challenges in a more constructive fashion, improve our relationships and make our life truly meaningful.
