Introduction to Meditation

$40

with Richard D'Angelo

Calendar Sep 25, 2025 at 6 pm

We all want to be happy and lead fulfilled lives, but too often we depend upon our minds to find this happiness and too often we are disappointed. The reason is that we are using the wrong tool for the job. To find true happiness we need to look within, for our hearts hold the answers to find true joy and commitment, not our minds. This is where meditation comes in. By learning how to quiet the mind, we can remove ourselves from the fear the mind creates and open ourselves up to a whole new world of self discovery and purpose. 

In this class we will learn the true benefits of the meditative experience as well as experience meditation itself. If you feel frustrated and discouraged in life, this is the class you’ve been waiting for! 

Students aged 16 and up are welcome to register when a parent or guardian is also registered and attends the same class.
