There will be meditation periods (15-25 minutes) with instruction and silence, along with reflections and time for discussion in each session, as well as exercises to bring into daily life. This series is appropriate for beginners as well as those with more meditation experience. People of all traditions are welcome, breath is common to all that lives.
