• How to Make Yourself Happy: Silent Meditation Retreat

Although we all want to be happy, sometimes it feels like a struggle. Meditation offers a practical and powerful method to develop and increase our mental peace; the deeper our peace becomes, the happier we will be! Come learn effective meditations that you can practice at home anytime you wish.

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.
