## Details

The holiday season can be a wonderful time to connect with friends and family. It can also be a time when stress, frustration, and disappointment, can ruin our happiness and good feelings for one another.

Join us for an afternoon of guided meditations to help you increase your inner peace, and learn how you can transform every circumstance and social encounter into an opportunity to develop your good heart and wisdom.

We will observe silence during our brief breaks to enhance our meditative experience. Join us at the end for an informal Q&A and light refreshments. Suitable for both beginners and seasoned practitioners, each session will include practical instruction and guided meditation. Everyone is welcome!
