Meditation: A Tool to Balance Your Life

Thursday, January 30, 10:00am
In person or online via Zoom. Registration link: https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/JWaPl9ojRiK0Q9BHpY–OA

We live in a fast-paced world, filled with challenges and constant demands on our time. Wouldn’t it be nice to take a vacation from all the tension and find a place filled with joy, bliss and peace? When we learn how to meditate, we find such a place within our very selves. The practice of meditation helps people reduce stress and gain a deeper sense of fulfillment in life. William Smith, retired Army Lt. Colonel and long-time meditator, will offer a first hand demonstration of a simple yet highly effective meditation method.
