**“ *Do you pay regular visits to yourself?***
***Start now*. ” –** Rumi

In the midst of the challenges and uncertainties we face in the world today, mindfulness meditation offers a powerful way to reconnect with inner peace. It helps us ground ourselves, respond with greater clarity, compassion and kindness.

This five-week series of workshops is designed for both beginners and experienced mindfulness meditators. They are all hybrid events offering both in-person and virtual participation. Dropins are welcome.

**Here’s what past participants have shared:**

*"I’m deeply moved by the openness and dedication of participants from all walks of life—across ages, cultures, and backgrounds—who come together to explore mindfulness and discover more balance within."*

*“Caroline led the meditations with such peaceful confidence. Her way of teaching made everything feel accessible.”*

*“My biggest takeaway was learning to pause and really listen to my body.”*

*“The RAIN practice has been such a powerful tool for me.”*

*“The most useful part of the course was realizing it’s okay to feel strong emotions. Learning to be non-judgmental toward myself has been a game-changer.”*
