COURSE DESCRIPTION:
The benefits of meditation are well established and well known: reduced stress, increased joy, improved mental resilience, and a host of physical health improvements. We all want the benefits of a mindful life, but for many of us the question is: “How do I begin?”
Join Kushok for this 3-week course to learn the fundamentals of mindfulness meditation, and to lay the foundation for your personal meditation practice under the guidance of a qualified teacher.
This course is secular in nature and offered in an accessible way to compliment any spiritual path. All are welcome.
Please don’t miss this opportunity to bring more joy and peace into your daily life through a daily meditation practice.
