Join Tyler Lapkin for a three-part introduction to meditation and mindfulness. January 9, 16 & 23, 2024 , 6-7:15 p.m. In this series, you will learn the basic skills to begin your own journey of meditation and mindfulness and develop a practice of your own.

Decades of neuroscience studies show the power of meditation and mindfulness to relieve stress, awaken our positive capacities and bring balance into our lives. We live in a busy and divisive time and that can fuel stress and anxiety. Mediation and mindfulness can be both healing and liberating. Rather than caught by habitual reactions and struggle, we can learn how to meet our complex world and our own changing state of mind with mindful, loving awareness and courage. This allows us to cultivate spacious, clear and healthy responses to life.

Mindfulness quiets the mind and opens the heart. With consistent practice, meditation and mindfulness, can help us recognize and foster positive states of mind like kindness, generosity, steadiness and love and learn how to nurture and strengthen them for a more positive outlook and improved well-being.
