When we practice sitting quietly and following our breath, we enter into direct contact with our heart. By letting ourselves be just as we are, we begin to experience true friendliness towards ourselves.
We also offer a weekly meditation evening open to all on Friday nights from 8:00 PM to 9:00 PM (free of charge).
