Warwick Meditation Class

September Series

Making Every Moment Count

Tuesdays · 7-8:30pm with Rebecca Rehorn

Life flies by. Computers, smartphones, and the hectic pace of modern life make it so we are often so busy and distracted that we don’t feel we can really live our life. Years can go by, leaving us thinking “what did I really accomplish? What was the point of it all?”

But, being busy does not mean we can’t be at peace. Buddhist teachings on mindfulness give us essential tools to harness meaning, joy, and purpose all day, every day. In particular, meditating throughout the day on impermanence and the value of this precious human life will give us the necessary tools to solve our daily problems, overcome distractions, and motivate us to make every moment count.
