Sunday Meditation Class
No class September 6
Navigating Life with Wisdom · 11am - 12:15pm
Our happiness has far more to do with the state of our mind than with our circumstances — and a calm, clear mind is also the basis of real inner wellbeing. This class offers simple, practical meditations to help you find real peace of mind: less reactive, less anxious, and more genuinely content, whatever the day brings. No experience is necessary, and each session stands alone, so you’re welcome to join any week.
Each class introduces a specific meditation along with the understanding behind it, so you leave with something you can actually use in daily life— not just a pleasant session of relaxation. Whether you’re new to meditation or already practicing, this is a space to quiet the mind, understand it a little better, and discover a happiness that doesn’t depend on things going well.
Class fee: $10 per person (free for KMC New York Members)
