The end-of-year celebrations, while joyous for many, can also be a time of increased stress, anxiety, and overwhelm. The pressure to shop, attend social gatherings, and meet family expectations can leave us feeling depleted and disconnected from ourselves.

Join Dr. Bernie Kelly for a guided meditation and an insightful talk on applying Buddhist principles to navigate the season with more balance and well-being.
