“I meditate so that my mind cannot complicate my life” – Sri Chinmoy. This quote rings true to what meditation can do to help uncomplicate your life. Meditation can also reduce stress and anxiety while bringing your focus to the present rather than constantly worrying about the past or what’s going to happen in the future. Come join us and experience what meditation can do for you.

Addiction and the Brain

Addiction and the Brain
The disease model of addiction, which arose in the 1950s to counteract the view of addiction as a moral failing, is based on the observation that addiction involves biological changes in the brain. The brain alterations change the way the brain works—notably in the dopamine system—to create the craving, the progressive inability to exert control, and other dysfunctions associated with substance use.

Vipassana meditation with Fernando
2025-11-08 12:30
Vipassana is a mindful meditation that focuses on observing your thought process, body, and emotions without judgment. You began by sensing each body part starting with your toes and ending with the crown of your head. This makes you aware of your body and your thought process. The judgement process will take place during and in the end, but this is for observation, total awareness.

HeART Journeys – Art for Everyone
Creative expression is good for the soul. Art can express our thoughts and feelings in color and images, rather than words. Art can also be an experience in relaxation and mindfulness, encouraging us to be in the present moment. As we paint and draw and color, we can learn to be comfortable with imperfection, and with the process rather than the outcome. No art experience necessary!
