This mediation worksop will focus on the peace that naturally arises when we sit, breathe, and abide in presence. Scientific research has shown that a daily meditation practice can significantly reduce a number of ailments associated with stress, as well as increase feelings of connection, joy, love, wellbeing, and a compassionate engagement with ourselves and the world. While meditation instruction is quite simple, it is not easy. Practicing in a group, with an experienced teacher, can be of great benefit towards the development of a daily practice.
