Meditation with Maureen Shannon-Chapple

Tuesday, August 9

2:00-2:45 pm

A simple, mindful grounding practice can be a support in uncertain times. Whether you are new to mindfulness practice or experienced, you are welcome to join us for a guided practice session accessible to all. A short discussion and Q&A will follow the practice.
