By developing a positive mental attitude for the week ahead, we will create an inner refuge, enabling us to stay positive amidst the demands of daily life.
Each class in this series is self-contained, so you are welcome to join at any point. After each class, you are invited to join us in our community room for by complimentary refreshments and the opportunity to ask questions. We also have many books and other meditation materials available at our Temple shop to help you deepen your understanding and meditation experience through further reading.
