INTRO TO MEDITATION CLASS

Meditation has been scientifically proven to boost the immune system, lower blood pressure, relieve depression, increase productivity, and induce creative thinking. Mindfulness has its roots in the teachings of the Buddha. Through sitting and walking meditations, short talks, and time for sharing and discussion, this afternoon class will introduce you to the basics of Buddhist meditation. You do not need to be a Buddhist to attend or to derive great benefit from meditation. This course is suitable for all levels, from complete beginners to experienced practitioners. The class will start promptly at 2:00 pm and ends at 3:30 pm. 

All are welcome. Registration is required.

Registration closes at 10:00am MDT on Friday, May 23, 2025.
