Every 1st Thursday, 5:30 - 6:30

Meditation is not about perfect focus or stopping your thoughts.

It’s about the willingness to be present with what comes up — and begin again.

This beginner course provides clear instruction in meditation fundamentals — posture, breath, attention, and awareness — while honestly addressing what makes starting difficult. Whether you are brand new or returning after many attempts to “stick with it,” you are welcome here. In a world that feels fast, polarized, and often overwhelming, meditation offers something steady: the capacity to sit with clarity, compassion, and resilience.

We’ll explore how to work with:

- Overthinking and rumination

- Physical restlessness

- Fear of “doing it wrong”

- Emotional discomfort

- Impatience for results

You’ll learn practical techniques for stabilizing attention, regulating the nervous system, and developing a sustainable home practice.

You’ll receive practical tools for:

- Establishing supportive posture and breath awareness

- Stabilizing attention without force

- Regulating the nervous system

- Relating differently to thoughts and emotions

- Building a sustainable home practice

- Integrating mindfulness into daily life — from commutes to difficult conversations
