weekly meditation is open to anyone and everyone
and you may come and go at any time
each session, we do 3 guided meditations, approximately 20 minutes long
starting at 9:30, 10:00, and 10:30 PM
with short breaks between each one
most of the meditations are mindfulness meditations
focused on breathing, awareness, and observation of thought
for many people, meditation is an insightful and rewarding experience with long-lasting benefits
it is associated with long-term behavioral and brain alterations
and is thought to help with anxiety and depression
