A Gentle and Practical Introduction for Complete Beginners Have you been curious about meditation but unsure where to start? Perhaps you’ve wondered: • “What actually is meditation?” • “What if I can’t stop thinking?” • “Am I supposed to clear my mind?” • “What if I do it wrong?” If so, this workshop is designed especially for you.

You are welcome exactly as you are. The workshop is: • Warm and supportive • Gentle and beginner-friendly • Interactive but with optional participation • Calm, relaxed, and non-judgmental Questions are always welcome.
