Back by popular demand. The holiday season will soon be upon us. It offers the possibility of celebration, togetherness, giving, love, and hope. The season may also generate exceptional stressors: pressure to do it all, sadness, loneliness, grief. AND potentially too much of many things including food, drink, sweets, events, family, expenses, among others.
Meditative Practice can help us improve our holiday experiences. It can enable an enrichment and enjoyment of the “Best of the Season”. We can find connection, vibrancy, and satisfaction in small moments and traditional activities.
Our practice can also help us to prepare for, and process emotional and physical challenges, as they arise. Inevitably they will.
When: This class will be held online on Zoom. Tuesday Evenings from 6:00 - 7:00 PM MST (Arizona) - December 12, 19, 26 and January 2. It is an all- levels class, from beginner to experienced meditator.
