We are pleased that Dr. Rebecca Li will be with us again on Monday, April 29, for guided meditation and teachings.
Rebecca will explore with us the topic “Why do we practice? Why do we sit?” With these questions in mind, we will probe our own motivations for practice, what we might expect from our practice, and what the path of practice means to us.
Why do YOU practice?
Please consider asking yourself this question, and be ready to share and learn that night.
