The holiday season is upon us, offering the possibilities of love, celebration, togetherness, hope, and giving. This season can also generate exceptional stressors: pressure to do it all, loneliness, sadness, grief, and too much of many things including food, drink, sweets, family, among others.
Meditation can enable a rich experience of this season; more connection, vibrancy, and satisfaction in small moments and traditional perspectives. Our practice also helps us prepare for and process challenges, as they arise -- inevitably they will.
This program offers a weekly topic and practices to help enhance your holidays and manage stress.
You can enroll in and attend individual sessions. However, we encourage you to explore the entire program. You will receive an email with more information from either Bonnie or Stephen a few days before each class for which you have registered. Below is the schedule:
