We will breathe, connect, heal and give thanks each session finishing the session with a tea ceremony. Dress for the weather; bring a blanket to wrap yourself for meditations; something to sit upon such as a very small folding chair or a yoga mat; and a journal for writing or drawing. Location will be provided close to class start. 3 sessions ONLY: 3/7, 4/4, 5/2 (Mondays)
