Group Meditation
When: Tuesdays at 8:30 am & Thursdays at 7:30 pm
Exchange: Donations gratefully accepted
Instructor: Dean Solon
Meditation can be described as "an abiding in one's natural state, without mental complications." During these group meditations, led by Dean Solon, we will be cultivating and sharing clarity and compassion---an unfolding awareness and mindfulness---which may be summed up with this simple expression: a knowing of things as they are. Dean opens meditation by sharing a reflection or meditation exercise and then invites participants to join him in silent meditation. The meditation is followed by time for reflection by all members of the group. The morning meditation is a gentle way to get centered and welcome the morning - and promotes resiliency throughout the day ahead. Evening meditation is a relaxed and supportive way to wind down at the end of the day and come together in community.

Qigong Classes: A Mid-day Break
Dates: Thursdays at 2 pm and every other Friday at 12 pm
Cost: Single session $10 per person or pre-pay 10 sessions for $80 per person.
Teacher: Karen Steinbrecher
Qigong literally means “energy work” and has been continuously practiced in China for thousands of years to achieve vibrant health and a calm mind. In the introductory Qigong classes offered through The Resiliency Center, you will learn basic, yet powerful Qigong exercises based on the movement of animals and birds (such as the crane, eagle, dragon, and swan), as well as movements to strengthen the bones and the immune system and to increase range of motion with the hips, shoulders, and the neck. Take time now to slow down, get in touch with your body, and become whole.
