⭐ Opening New Year Session:

What lies ahead in 2025? It's a mystery, but one thing's for sure—there will be highs and lows.

When things don’t go our way, it’s easy to be reactive, angry, and afraid. These survival tactics keep us locked into old habits and patterns.

How do we meet the year with curiosity, courage and love – without shutting down?

It starts with pausing and deeply listening—to ourselves, to others, and to our surroundings.

Come join us for our first group meditation of the year! Whatever your experience and style of meditation is, you’re welcome to join.
