The Art of Positive Thinking
Learn simple meditations to destress, relax, clear your mind and develop a positive outlook on life!
Positive thinking is a skill that everyone can learn and develop. By using simple, time-tested meditation techniques, we can learn to think and act positively in our daily lives. Maintaining a positive outlook builds inner resilience and strength, protecting us from the stressful demands of everyday life.
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.
Class dates & topics:
Sept 26: Meditation, happiness & inner peace
Oct 3: Letting go of negative thoughts
Oct 10: Developing good intentions
Oct 17: Meditating on interconnectedness
By attending these classes, you can expect to develop practical skills for managing stress, enhancing mental clarity, and cultivating a more positive mindset.

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!

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.
