ONLINE MEDITATION COURSE

TAOIST MEDITATION: INNER DISSOLVING

MEDITATIONS TO CALM THE MIND AND BODY

October 30 through December 4
offered on Zoom at 7:00 p.m.
What I really like about this meditation is that there's no analysis, no story to get into. I can just keep dissolving anything that comes up. It seems to me, probably for the first time in my life, that I can be aware of something when it comes up and release it, but I don't have to take it apart. It's very freeing” JoAnn T.
