Meditation is now mainstream and practiced in many different places in many different ways. The meditation that will be taught in these workshops has its roots in Zen practice. In our everyday lives, we can see how complex life can be and how we need to have a place to relax and catch our breath sometimes. In these workshops, you will learn that this place of rest already exists in our own bodies. The most important point in these workshops is to learn how to simply sit, and be comfortable and restful a practice and tool that can be applied to any life endeavor.

These informative workshops are being held the first Thursday of each month. The next workshop will be held from 11:15 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. on Thursday, March 5. The instructor is Joseph Armenio.

This workshop is free to 60+ Center members, and for everyone else there will be a $2 drop-in fee.
