Workshop Title: Introduction to Meditation

Description: Rooted in ancient wisdom and supported by modern science, meditation is a timeless practice that can transform how you relate to your mind, body, and life. This 2 hour introductory workshop is perfect for all levels — from the meditation-curious to experienced practitioners interested in learning a new technique. You’ll explore what meditation really is, how it supports the nervous system and overall well-being, and experience a guided practice from the Himalayan Yog-Vedantic tradition. Whether you're seeking stress relief, spiritual growth, or a deeper connection with yourself, this workshop offers a place to begin. You'll leave with a powerful yet accessible technique you can begin using daily — and an open invitation to continue the journey.
