Each week focuses on developing qualities that support equanimity: relaxation, compassion, gratitude, and wisdom. Rooted in the Insight meditation tradition, the series blends awareness of the natural breath with simple techniques that calm the nervous system and foster clarity and emotional balance. Together, we will learn practical tools to meet life’s ups and downs with calm presence and care. Practicing in person allows us to create a warm, supportive space of shared presence that deepens both personal insight and group learning. All levels of experience are welcome as we build resilience, openness, and a grounded sense of well-being week by week. Effie Stavrulaki is a meditation teacher with NSIMC as well as a management professor at Bentley University. Read more at Effie’s teacher page.
