Every Monday we join our community to learn more about meditation and other such mindfulness practices to help our community become more conscious so we can all enjoy a peaceful and joyful life. Meditation can unlock the doors to compassion in your community. By helping create a more mindful community we can reduce violent and non-violent crime rates, increase the overall health and well-being of our citizens, and build an atmosphere of safety. Free to join, however, donations are welcome!
