NEXT EVENTS
MONDAY
Mindfulness Meditation moves to
Monday nights! We will continue to meet at 5:30 p.m. in the Sanctuary.
Mindfulness Meditation centers the human spirit, calms the mind, reduces stress, improves cognitive function and provides a myriad of other well documented health benefits. More significantly, however, it is a transformative spiritual practice with the capacity to expand our awareness, enliven our hearts, and deepen our sense of compassion. Having taught Eastern and Western forms of meditation for almost three decades, Mark Forbes, our facilitator and former Rector of St. Patrick's, will offer a weekly, sixty-minute program designed to gently introduce the practice into the lives of beginners, while simultaneously offering the seasoned meditator a fertile space to grow their practice. All are welcome to attend. No registration necessary.
