“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.

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!
