Relax & Be Happy: A Silent Meditation Retreat

Feeling overwhelmed or stressed by the busyness of the holiday season? Need some inspiration and direction for the year ahead?

Join us for a special afternoon silent retreat to…

• Relax and unwind with gentle, guided meditations
• Discover a lasting source of peace and happiness within yourself
• Learn special ways of thinking that provide purpose and direction for daily life.  

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.
