Weekend Morning Outdoor Meditation at Lafarge Lake Park

## Join us for a peaceful start to your weekend with an outdoor meditation session at Lafarge Lake Park in Coquitlam!

We invite you to bring your own yoga mat and headphones (if you like). Or, you can simply come as you are and immerse yourself in nature. It's a wonderful way to cultivate a calm and mindful morning.

### FIND US

We'll gather on the grass under the trees, to the left of the stage (The Town Center Park Community Plaza).
Just look for our group meditating on yoga mats!

(Rain Plan) If it rains, we'll cancel for this week but resume the following week.

Please Note: I'll confirm the night before the event, so be sure to check for updates before you head out.

### WHAT TO EXPECT

Feel free to join us whenever you find a comfortable spot, and leave whenever you wish. You can close your eyes and listen to the sounds of nature, or simply focus on your own breath. If you ever find it hard to focus, I often imagine myself as a tree, or a part of the park, observing everything around me—including myself. This usually helps me feel grounded and connected.

I'll be sticking around for about an hour, so feel free to explore your meditation practice as you wish!

### OUR COMMUNITY

If you're like me and often find it hard to stick to new habits, you've found your place! Starting something new can be challenging, but remember that every step you take is for yourself. We're all on different paths, and there's no need for comparison or judgment here. Let's look inward and grow together as a collective.
