For Republicans, Democrats, Independents, and political agnostics alike, these are uncertain, perhaps even frightening times. But just because the outer political world seems to be increasingly uncertain and unstable, that doesn't mean that your inner world can't be grounded, clear, and calm.
Join meditation teacher Jeff Goin for "1st Wednesday Meditations" beginning August 7, from 8:30 -- 9:00 AM at Lotus Center. These guided, nonpartisan meditations are specifically designed to relax our worried minds, and cultivate a new, spacious perspective that will sustain us through these unprecedentedly chaotic political times.
