Studies show that even a short meditation session can help you reduce stress and control emotions. Join us for a brief session over the lunch hour every first Monday.
Sessions will be offered at 12 pm and 12:30 pm. Meditation will be 15 minutes, with an additional 15 minutes to browse curated meditation music, media, podcasts and books from our collection. These sessions are for absolute beginners, experts and anyone in-between. If you've wanted to try, but never knew quite how to, this is the program for you. Learn how to let go of emotions, focus inward and live your best life.
