Have you ever wondered what meditation is and how it works? Have you ever wanted to try it? Popular instructor, Kurt Scholler, will introduce a variety of techniques and provide plenty of time to practice together and talk about your experiences. The purpose of the class is to introduce you to meditation techniques so you can practice at home or wherever you are.

There are lots of reasons to participate: maybe you want to re-invent yourself in retirement and be open to new experiences; or maybe you would like to experience more self-love and acceptance as your body ages; or you are fed up with negative thinking and just want a little peace and quiet. All those are great reasons to learn meditation. So come join us! Maximum 20 participants. Enroll one week before session starts.
