Ever wonder what meditation is really all about? Are you looking for New Year’s resolutions that improve your health and wellness? Come join a series of events beginning in January 2023 where you can learn and practice meditation. This is an exclusive offering for members of the ChangeLawyers community: present scholars or fellows, alumni, and grantee partners. Absolute beginners welcome. This introductory series will cover such topics as the physical and mental health benefits of a consistent meditation practice; introduction to breathwork; and cultivating wholesome and skillful states of mind.
Sessions will run on Thursdays for the entire month of January from 11:30am to 12:30pm Pacific time (January 5, 12, 19, and 26). Participants are encouraged to join the entire series but are welcome to drop in when they can.
