• Healing Anxiety: Silent Meditation Retreat

Meditation is a powerful scientific method to dissolve away anxiety and stress, and develop mental peace and strength. This retreat will highlight practical meditations and positive ways of thinking to control your mind, rather than being overwhelmed and controlled by anxiety. Suitable for both beginners and seasoned practitioners, each session will include practical instruction and guided meditation. We will observe silence during our brief breaks to enhance our meditative experience. Join us at the end for an informal Q&A and light refreshments.
