Join us every Monday...breathe, relax, and be still
Meditation has been shown to reduce stress, increase balance and stillness, increase awareness, and even expand acceptance and compassion for yourself and others. Each week will vary slightly. “Practices” include breathing, mindfulness, body awareness, earthly grounding, spacial awareness, centring, and more.
Sessions are facilitated from a well-being perspective. No religious affiliation is needed. Everyone is welcome to participate. All experience levels are welcome from advanced practitioners to those who are trying meditation for the first time.
Why not give it a try! Gift yourself with a few moments of stillness to reset and recharge. It’s as true for people as it is with technology as well as people...we can all benefit from shutting down for a few moments and recharging.
This session is open to all members of the FoE community. Please bring your own meditation pillow or mat to sit on.
Join us every Monday from Jan 15th to Mar 25th, for a relaxing 30 mins.
