Think Better, Feel Better
A Practical Six-Week Meditation Course
for Everyday Life
A powerful truth to understand is that our thoughts shape our world. They influence how we feel, how we experience ourselves and others, and ultimately how we navigate life. By learning to think in healthier ways, we can naturally begin to feel better - gaining the inner strength to handle daily challenges and the ability to support those around us with greater understanding and compassion.
These classes include two guided meditations and a talk on nurturing deeper inner peace and a clear sense of purpose and direction in our lives. After each class, there is time for Q&A.
Each class is self-contained, so you are welcome to join at any time. No previous experience with meditation is required. You do not need to bring anything with you, and the meditation is conducted on chairs (though you are welcome to bring a cushion if you prefer).
The classes are held in the peaceful, friendly, and comfortable surroundings of the First Christian Reformed Church.

I've been to five workshops at this centre over the last year and it's completely revolutionized my meditation practice. I'm super grateful to have stumbled across them and recommend them every chance I get. Thanks!
— Andrew
Every time I join a workshop, I go home with valuable lessons that I can live by in daily life. The teachings are logical and cleaned my negativity significantly.
— Sara
I apply many of the teachings in everything I do in my daily life and I can say I am a much happier person and lead a much lighter life. This is my personal experience. I hope that if you get a chance to try them out they’ll be helpful in some way to you as well.
