PORT JERVIS AT FOUNDRY 42: Tuesdays 6 – 7:15pm
Simple Meditations to Solve Problems
September 9-30
When we have problems we can get stuck. Meditation allows us to see challenges from new points of view. From these novel perspectives, we can break through blockages and limitations. Over this course, we will look at accessible meditations that inspire clarity and action and help us relax with a plan to move forward in a positive way. They will help us find inner quiet and peace that will give us a firm foundation to build the life we want. Everyone welcome!

Total Responsibility, Total Freedom
October 14-November 4
The more we take responsibility for our experience, the more freedom we enjoy. As long as we live at odds with life and how we see things, we live in a state of friction and stagnation.Understanding how our mind works allows us to see the true source of our feelings and emotions, “own” what is coming from within and let go of what’s beyond our control. As a result, we stay clear-headed and balanced, drop unnecessary worry and focus our energy on solutions. Everyone welcome!

Heal Your Past, Create Your Future
November 11- December 16
By changing the experience of our past, we can change our future. We do not need to be stuck and fatalistic. Through the power of meditation, we can change everything. Whether through personal mistakes or encountering difficult times, we have all faced various struggles that we hold on to. Denial, repression, and inauthentic ‘positivity’ are all ways we avoid working with the past and ultimately keep us stuck.Through this series, we will go step-by-step on how to face the past honestly and gently, understand it and own it. We will see how to break cycles of harm and create the future we want for ourselves and others. Each week we will leave with practical how-to’s about how to integrate what we look at into our busy lives. Everyone welcome!
