*Starting April 22nd*.https://meditation-dc.org/wednesday-evening-simply-meditate/
The purpose of meditation is to improve our peace of mind. Each week our drop-in simply meditate classes introduce different topics ranging from improving our mindfulness and reducing stress to becoming more compassionate and wise. These meditations are suitable for all levels of experience. Each class will consist of some basic breathing meditation, a short teaching teaching followed by another guided meditation based on the topic of the class.
